This seems to be trivial to resolve - put everything in the internet zone unless it matches a list containing the local intranets. Then do reverse-dns of everything that's allegedly inside the intranet and make sure everything matches up. It isn't a perfect solution, but it would make it substantially harder to fake a remote site as local. You also get the added benefit of not needing to worry about how IE resolves domains/ip addresses. -- signal11at_private | BOFH, Malign networks I'll give you the TCO of Linux as soon as my calculator stops saying "divide by zero error."
