theage.com.au — The Government's plan to censor the internet is in tatters, with Australia's largest ISP saying it will not take part in live trials of the system and the second largest committing only to a scaled-back trial. The Australian government plans to introduce a two-tiered censorship system of filtering from the ISPs' end.

A dead simple approach would be to filter at the DNS server. Don't return IP's for servers hosting illegal content.The DNS server itself does a query against the blacklist server, and tags hits as "Do not return" in the DNS Cache.Single lookup every TTL period, so there would be essentially no overhead. Issued solved for 95% of cases for general users.Sites would still be addressable directly by IP, but as IPv6 becomes more prevalent the mere sight of IPv6 addresses will scare the average Joe off.If you wanted to 'opt out' you could simply manually set your DNS to a foreign server. Not a challenge by any means in most cases.Illegal content is an issue that should be tackled but I see no reason to go further than this. The only really issue is the quality of the blacklist, and the departmental drones administering it.
