I have a dead zone file, which produces instant fails to any queries to any domain names I associate it with. It gives me neat, central, management of all computers on the LAN. My named.conf file also has these other google-related domains: zone "googlesyndication.com" { type master; file "dead.zone"; }; zone "googleservices.com" { type master; file "dead.zone"; }; zone "googleadservices.com" { type master; file "dead.zone"; }; zone "google-analytics.com" { type master; file "dead.zone"; }; And this is the dead.zone file: $TTL 86400 @ IN SOA ns.localdomain. hostmaster.mail.localdomain. ( 200 ; serial 28800 ; refresh 7200 ; retry 604800 ; expire 86400 ; ttl ) IN NS ns.localdomain. Essentially, it's a wildcard "no answer" for the domain, and any subdomain. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
