Not if you block the domain name terrorist.com from resolving at the caching name server, only if you block the IP address to which is resolves on your routers. (Which in many cases will be an Akamai server inside your network - if not, just ask. :)
http://a1016.g.akamai.net/f/1016/606/1d/(rest deleted) So tell me again how you're going to filter a1016.g.akamai.net? And how you're not going to piss off the OTHER sites on that server? (Yes, I know that the virtualized hostname is down in the (rest deleted) part of the URL - is that what you want to try to filter in a firewall? Especially when the name could (and probably will) be % encoded or whatever? Or are we simply assuming that all terrorists are dumb enough to not know how to use a proxy?
