Whats the best way to restrict access to URL? 2

[bTkalternate]

Hi,

I want to stop users accessing a particular URL.
What ways can I go about doing this?

I was thinking of adding the site's IP to DNS and point it to a 'ban' page or our intranet but not sure how to do this in AD DNS exactly.

We run ISA 2006 too.

Any help is appreciated.

If you are using ISA as a proxy server then use that to block the URLs; The below is for ISA 2004 but the procedure should be about the same in 2006.

Not got much experience with ISA personally, so if you want a good ole fashioned way modify the hosts file on workstations:

echo "ihatethiswebsite.com 127.0.0.1" >> %WINDIR%\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

Both ISA and Websense work great.
