Not to mention the accuracy is pretty poor. Say I'm fubar.com and you
have a rule blocking traffic from my domain. I can either:
1) Not create a PTR record for my IP
2) Create a PTR calling myself www.microsoft.com or similar
Both methods will defeat a domain based filter. So blocking at an IP
level is faster and more accurate. Best bet is to just do a few whois
queries to identify the IP range for the domain and block accordingly.
HTH,
Chris
