Reverse DNS

RouterOS General
1

Any hope of getting a Reverse DNS option added to the proxy server ??

I have a client that wants to block the usual bandwidth hogs… IE youtube etc..

I can block using OpenDNS just fine and can add IPs (one at a time as I cant use the Address lists for more than one entry (I tried))

I can match IP Addresses, so… the address in the URL can be matched… (compared), So…
How about a Web Proxy rule that forces a “reverse lookup” IE take the IP address and convert it to a domain name via DNS lookup and then reprocess the request…

IE 208.65.153.253 looked up is a youtube address… then normal rules applied and (with the correct rules) the site is blocked or redirrected to a page asking if the user has a life?? and to stop eating up the pipe !!

PLAESE !!!

you don’t even have DNS lookup in RouterOS rules :slight_smile:

use scripting. you can have some remote machine doing this stuff and writing it into file, and RouterOS can fetch and parse the file.
