Hi,<br />
<br />
We have 5 computers in our office &nbsp;and 1 server with AD.<br />
All five computers are part of the domain.<br />
<br />
Here is the situation.<br />
<br />
We want to be able to block 3 of those computers using openDNS<br />
then the other 2 computers we want to give them full access to any website.<br />
<br />
We were thinking about setting up the AD server with openDNS<br />
and setup a static DNS on the 3 workstations to point to the AD<br />
<br />
Since we don't have another server. We were thinking about using our router as a DNS server fOr the other 2 wOrkstations, but then the server would not be able to communicate with those 2 computers and GP and other things would not work anymore.<br />
<br />
What would we need to the setup on the router and the server, so everything can work properly?
