RE: RE: Blocking Web addresses

Yep, that is what I requested. Maybe it's an idea to fix the dns
forwarder in a way to support wildcards and a "block" function or so.

Or, if you like to do things the "easy" way, then go to the m0n0wall
gui, click on "DNS forwarder", enable, and click on the "+" down below
to add an entry for "ads.youdontlikeit.com" to have an IP of 127.0.0.1.
Accomplishes the same effect within the existing framework of m0n0
without requiring any hacking.

hth,

PS, I don't do this because I don't see a way to add "*.doubleclick.net"
and I don't feel like adding every single name they use (or even worse,
the hitbox set of servers...).  Seems like there would still be a nice
feature to have some wildcard dns based site blocking.
