I need a box for a certain group of users to do strictly a timesheet via the web. I only want that box to go to 1 web address. How can I restrict the browser to do this?

I may be talking out of my bum, but I had an idea when I read the post-

could you disable dns lookup, add a hosts file for just the one address,pointing it to the correct ip addy?

Anyone? Anyone? Buler? :)

You would still have the problem that someone could type in the IP of a given site and go to it.

I will admit most people do not know the IP address of other sites but it is still would allow someone the ability to go to other sites.

I thought the same thing, but when I went to the https site without the DNS entries on straight IP, it wouldn't maintain a connection.
