Hi all,

Have a quastion. I want to block spyware programs access to spyware sites on
corporate network computers. I download HOSTS file with most spyware sites
and plase it on our DNS servers - but as I see it didnot work (DNS did not
use HOSTS file for lookup).

Can I change this?
May be possible to upload text file to DNS server cashe?

Thank You...
