Re: [FW-1] How to block instant messenger traffic



Setting your DNS servers to be the SOA record wouldn't accomplish this
entirely.  You would first need to set-up a zone file for aol.com
internally, add the appropriate hosts and records, create the reverse
look-up zone file and then redirect all queries to the loopback interface
address.  That's a bad idea as well as it will cause a ton of LONG timeouts
for end users and can easily be avoided by using an /etc/hosts or LMHOST
file.

Also an option:  Setup your DNS server as SOA for login.oscar.aol.com
and resolve all queries for *.login.oscar.aol.com to 127.0.0.1.
