To block all hosts or subdomains within a domain, you should use the
"*.domain.tld" form.
Also, don't include the protocol prefix (http://, https://, etc.); that part
of the client request is ignored by the rule parser.

Subject: [isalist] Blocking Sites


http://www.ISAserver.org



Can anyone explain how to block sites that seem to evade specific URLs. I am
responsible for a College Network.

There are many games sites that I try to block.  One such site is
http://swerve.com.  Even if I type in all the possible combinations in the
blocked sites such as www.swerve.com, games.swerve.com,
http://games.swerve.com I am unable to block the site.

Again with a site like http://sierra.com.  I type in www.sierra.com,
http://sierra.com, and also the site that these default to which is
http://sierra.com/home.do and still I can't block students from it.  I have
also typed in http://sierra.com/*  to no effect.

Sometimes I can block a www address such as www.classicgaming.com but I
cannot block http://classicgaming.com or if students just type
classicgaming.com

It is almost a futile task trying to block all sites that students keep
discovering but I would appreciate if someone can explain if and how the
blocking facility of ISA Server can overcome this problem.
