I believe freebsd.org blocks *.rr.com as well. (from personal experience) Blocking entire ISP's doesnt seem to be the best solution for freebsd.org. For personal usage, you can of course block any DN/IP you wish, but, in order to reach more users, I think blocking major U.S. ISP's is not the best solution. -- keichii@bsdconspiracy.net Wide Spread BSD Conspiracy to take over the world OS market -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
