Anyway, three solutions, from the most sensible to the least: * Set up proxy exceptions in your browser preferences * Use mod_cache for your local copies * Use mod_rewrite - probably a rewritemap. Unless of course your real purpose is to block crap like animated images, in which case maybe the rewritemap makes good sense (I use my ADSL router to do that). -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
