[WEB4LIB] restricting users to just one site

[Jacque King]

John,

You can just set this up in Internet Explorer-->Internet Properties
-->LAN Settings-->check use a Proxy Server-->type in ***** for the proxy
address and click Advanced-->In the "Exceptions" area, type in the URL
that you want your folks to access.  All other URLs will not work.

You can also set this using System Policy Editor, if you are using it.

If you want more detail, just let me know :)
