Since the Monowall provides for DNS overrides, this mechanism can be used to implement a simple DNS blackhole.  I can just return an IP address of 0.0.0.0 for "bad" addresses.

My question is, how big can I make the list of DNS overrides?  If I were to generate DNS entries for every domain name on http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm, would this cause unforeseen issues (performance or otherwise)?

Thanks.

Yes, it wouldn't work :-)

m0n0wall runs dnsmasq and passes the parameters for it's configuration through the command line.  that list of hosts would exceed the maximum length of the command line .....

Good to know.  Thanks.
