Filter-list
The filter list contains the entries for prohibited domains. In addition, it is possible to specify for whom a given domain will be prohibited. This is set using an IP address/netmask pair. An IP address of 0.0.0.0 prohibits this domain for all computers. A subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 prohibits the domain for all networks. The table has the following layout:
Name Domain IP-address Netmask F001 *xxx* 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Clear IDs can be freely selected and assigned to the filters in the 'Idx.' field.
Enter the name of the domain to be prohibited in the 'Domain' field. Wildcards such as '?' and '*' may be used. The wildcard '?' replaces exactly one character, while '*' can stand for a random number of characters. Multiple instances of the wildcard '*' can be used. For example, *xxx* filters all names containing the letters xxx in any position within the name.
The IP address and subnet mask fields can be used to specify the subnet for which the domain will be prohibited.
The filter table is sorted according to the subnet masks in descending order (the longest at the top); entries with identical subnet masks are sorted according to the IP addresses in ascending order. In the event of identical IP addresses, the entries are sorted in ascending order according to the domain to be prohibited.
The table is searched from top to bottom and an error message is returned to the requesting computer in the event of a match.
