Sounds like a great idea - how do you get to your own network that
way, use CNAME records?

An alternative, I suppose, would be to filter out the domains that
have consistently hit on my box. Korea, for example, certain European
countries and certain ISP's here in the US appear indifferent to their
users' activities. Since I am not a business, I could just filter the
entire domains out without compromising the utility of the network.

Thanks for the good suggestion. I will investigate this with my local
ISP's.

Best regards,

Jared
