[Server-devel] Dansguardian on XS

[David Van Assche]

I''ll probabbly get flamed for this but here goes. These are some of the
resons I dont see oppenDNS are as an alternative to aw filter:

- It it usually to restricitive.... kids or admins can of courrse change
this, but then this becomes pertty mu dansguardian.

- Dansguardian uses Baysian logic to filter out of a lot of the  seriously
otherwise complex keywords/phrases

- I can STILL be uesd with openDNS, to drive down traffic usage

- It i constnantly bein upfated by no only th3 Christian Community agenda,
but muslim and jewish too...

- IT works absolutely fantastically as a standalone program that uses
tinyproxy and firehol and is maintained by a nice small team of devs )8 at
lasst cound)... The whole frontend works fast and efficiently on a number of
netbooks we teeted at guadalnex.ed

- It has a major set of pre-fabricated recipes which will save techers adn
admins tim

So--- of u want to use i with OPNDNS u can, an if u choose satnalone vie js
je ehreason .

Actually, the Gambas2 interface is pretty neat and allows u to put in as
many utf8 lingos as u like, a la pootle... u just have to put a [ ] within
the word to be tanslated... later,.... gambas actually auto does t for u,

Modern versions of XS seem to be moving to using something a little more
hackable than bind.... might be wiorth taking into account...
