Is there a way to restrict which websites a user or users can access on the DNS server? Essentially, what we want to do is allow access to specific web sites while denying access to others. My knowledge of DNS servers is fairly limited so please excuse me if what I am about to say is incorrect. I think that the only to restrict websites on the DNS server is to create a static zone on the server and only add the entries we want. However, we also want to accept updates from a third party DNS server, which would imply a dynamic zone.
I know this can be easily done using a web filter, but my company does not have the money or desire to pursue such a solution. Also, the DNS server will NOT be a Microsoft DNS server. At this point we?re not sure what we want to use. We?re looking at either an AS/400 DNS or some kind of Linux derivative. We?ve actually talked about just installing BIND 9 on a workstation. A recommendation would be appreciated.
I welcome your thoughts.
