For example, determine what hostname MSN Messenger connects to, and create a zone of that name. The zone should have the usual NS records pointing to your servers, as well as: @ A 127.0.0.1 So the completed zone might look like this (still using the shorthand notation "@" to refer to the zone name): @ NS sabers.twincedars.k12.ia.us. @ A 127.0.0.1 ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice support@menandmice.com Making DNS Easy At 10:46 AM -0500 5/17/02, Tom Renaud wrote: >This is from a message quite a while ago on blocking MSN messenger and other >chap programs via DNS. > >>Just created specific zones for each of the services that pointed to >>127.0.0.1. > >I'm not too familiar with the records that would have to be created to >accomplish it, can someone give detailed instructions on this? > >Thanks, >Tom
