Abstract
A method of controlling internet access on a client computer. The method includes identifying a DNS request generated on the client computer and which is addressed to a specific DNS root server, and sending an information request to a central server identifying said DNS root server. Then, at the central server, reputation information for said DNS root server is determined, and said reputation information is provided from the central server to the client computer. The reputation information is then used at the client computer to handle the DNS request or a response to that request.
