Search Again: Re: MSN Messenger From: Chris Parker Date: Monday, October 15, 2001 Time: 9:21:11 am Blocked ICQ, MSN and Yahoo the same way before the firewall was config'd... (Can't find my notes at the moment - will check when I have more time). What you can do, what I did, was to install the programs on an insolated machine with it's own DNS and see what lookups are done... -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Lynch [mailto:a.list@ninewire.com] Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2001 10:21 AM To: quick dns list Subject: MSN Messenger I got some great advice on this list on how to kill AIM by setting up DNS to answer authoritatively for the messenger domain. Does anybody know a similar way to kill off MSN messenger and Yahoo? (what server name do those ask for?) And, are there any other popular ones? (cute side note: a sixth grade student asked me why AIM didn't work, but MSN did. Answer: Because I forgot about MSN :) If nobody actually knows the address, how can I monitor a program like MSN Messenger to see what it asks the dns server? (I suppose I can watch the QDNS Log, but I'd like to know a way to 'sniff' it off my local machine. -- Aaron Lynch System Administrator NineWire Digital Solutions || http://ninewire.com <insert Witty Signature Here>
