<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">Hello all,<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">After another round of disagreements concerning homework, I've determined that my daughter can't resist the lure of time-wasting Internet sites. The wrinkle is that she has a school-issued laptop, so I can't install anything on it to block access to the time-sinks. So here's what I think I can do, and I need to know if it's possible:<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">I already have a DHCP server on my desktop, providing fixed IPs and a different DNS server for my ReplayTV boxen. I'd like to target her laptop's DNS to one running on my desktop, without using that one as my desktop's DNS (I can use the router)<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">I also need a good tutorial on DNS servers - I have dnsmasq, which seems like it might work for my purposes - have the sites I need to block be mapped to 127.0.0.1 for her laptop, while letting the rest to resolve normally<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">So is this feasible? If not, is there a good alternative?<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small">
TIA,<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:small"><br clear="all"></div><div>Pete Hardie<br>--------<br>Better Living Through Bitmaps</div>
