Well, I believe the ideal answer is:<br>
This will prevent the policy makers to access the "bad" pages, so
this is what we do to make them content.<br>
<br>
If they can not themselves work a way around the wall we erect, they
are happy and that essentially is the target of this whole exercise.
(As I see it).<br>

We are in much the same situation in Norway. All the biggest
ISPs use
<br>
a list of child porn domains to be blocked, specified by the
central
<br>
police authorities. *In principle* implementing this is
voluntary for
<br>
the ISPs. In practice there is significant pressure to do
so.
<br>
<br>
Both the police and the ISPs are fully aware that blocking
this at the
<br>
DNS level (the ISP recursive resolvers) won't prevent
somebody who is
<br>
determined. But the police (and the government) still want
this done.
<br>
<br>
I sometimes suspect their view is of the type "We must do
something.
<br>
This is something, therefore we must do it."

And you won't be able to afford that ham sandwich if you've been
terminated from your job because you didn't follow the law. We
all have things in our jobs that we don't want to do but we do
them anyway. All the ridiculous suggestions and snarky comments
aren't helping the original poster who mentioned these sites
were considered illegal and is looking for other ways to do
this.

Doesn't the Eurozone have bigger problems right now, than worrying
about a few people looking at dirty pictures?

In any case, what does the OP expect us to say here? "Yeah, here's
a nifty way to violate the spirit of the whole DNS protocol"? It's
one thing to acknowledge casually that DNS software can be abused
by unscrupulous administrators as form of social control, it's
quite another to ask technical experts to actually give details on
how that abuse can be carried out; giving aid and comfort to the
enemy, as it were. The OP should report to his boss that the
technical community provides absolutely *NO*HELP* in this
travesty, and therefore any "modifications" to the DNS to try and
implement this "blocking" will be incredibly time-consuming and
prone to breakage in unforeseen ways.
