Some forms: http://216.163.137.3/ http://216.0xA3.137.3/ http://216.10717443/ http://0xD8A38903/ http://033050704403/ > Has anyone any idea how we can get squid to ignore Base 10 & Hex web > requests? kids will be bypassing filtering platforms up and down the UK > (or more probably have been for some time) Are you running Squid in interception mode? I ask because then there is a fallback on the original destination if the requested hostname could not be found.. The following should trap those I think http_reply_access deny !all It's not perfect however..
