Preventing incoming DNS requests from outside your network could make sence,
but stopping your internal users querying any external dns servers seems
obtuse, perhaps I am missing something? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I was under the impression that
the solution proposed combined a DNS and proxy. The DNS blocks or diverts
banned domain requests to say an ad for counciling or whatever without
impediment to other traffic, but requests for a page on a domain(or server)
that also carries banned pages are diverted through a proxy server with a
blacklist. <o:p></o:p></p>
