Is there a better solution that doesn't require intrusive parsing?
Sure. Tell the hoster they've got to shut it down, or else lose their connectivity.
which would be called "blackmail". sure, have the cops arrest the guy that actually runs the site or uploaded it onto the site, if they cannot (because it simply doesnt happen to be illegal in the country where he resides) they are out of luck and have to live with it. furthermore, in any case, a proper court order specifically mentioning the url, the customer, the right company out of our christmastree of companies worldwide, etc would be required as we dont plan to decide whats illegal and what not. ofcourse all of this only applies to "real crime". not to whining dmca idiots, whom are criminals themselves. -- Sven Olaf Kamphuis CB3ROB DataServices Phone: +31/87-8747479 Skype: CB3ROB MSN: sven@cb3rob.net C.V.: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cb3rob Confidential: Please be advised that the information contained in this email message, including all attached documents or files, is privileged and confidential and is intended only for the use of the individual or individuals addressed.

On the technical side of this question...
Let's say that a customer is doing virtual hosting. So they have a bunch of sites (Let's say hundreds) on a single IP address. Given that one of the sites is misbehaving (use your own definition), how would a provider block the one site, without blocking others that share the same IP address, without looking at every port 80 request and parsing for the header for the URL?

Sometimes it can be both simple *and* obvious.
