[Cialug] Blocking

[Nick Fox]

This is true, but it is a global filter. OpenDNS cannot block based on 
your internal IP for a specific computer. Personally its not a bad idea 
to switch to OpenDNS anyhow. I did sometime ago. What is needed here is 
something that can handle web content filtering on a Private IP basis. 
While  am sure there are more options than Fortinet and Vyatta, they are 
two I am familiar with and have seen great results from.
