What is the plan -- if any -- to deal with the hosting of the porn sites on the computers of the people who they're supposed to be blocked from?
What I'm referring to is the occasional spammer tactic of downloading web site contents into a hijacked Windows box ("zombie") and then using either redirectors, or rapidly-updating DNS, or just plain old IP addresses in URIs to send HTTP traffic there. This seems to be a tactic of choice on those occasions when the content is of a dubious nature: kiddie porn, warez, credit card numbers, identity theft tools, that sort of thing.
