Thanks again. That worked perfectly. Thanks also for the CIDR information.

I know that some admins out there thinks this is 'censorship' and I couldn't
agree more. However, my University's Open Day is this Sunday and the last
thing we want it potential students or other minors bringing up
pornographic sites on the web for their parents to see.

The actual restricting of access has been passed up to the University's
Vice-Chancellor for resolution.

Thanks very much for your help.
