Restricting access from my site to other sites

I have my website hosted on IIS 6.0.
I want to restrict access from my site to other sites.
For Example, in IIS Configuration for the website, suppose I want to
restrict redirection to www.hotmail.com and www.yahoo.com.
Is this possible ? If not, is there any work around ?

Are you wanting to prevent other sites (IP networks) from being able to
get to your (web) site?

Are you wanting to configure IIS so that it will not serve up redirects
to some sites (Hotmail / Yahoo / etc.)?

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish, please try re-asking the
question differently or with examples of what is happening that you want
to not happen or happen in a different way.

Hi Grant,

   No, I am not trying to prevent other sites (IP networks) from being able
to get to my (web) site.

   But, the reverse way.

   That means, none of my pages which may be in aspx, asp or having client
side scripts in them should be able to execute scripts of other sites such as
"http://armsart.com/h.js".

   I will be specifying the sites which can be allowed the access and only
those to have the access.

Handling external references in xHTML is done by the browser, not your
server - a request for a page that includes external references will never
have those external references passed back to your server, the browser
itself will connect to the external URL.

If you want to stop external references in xHTML output (including output
from server side scripts) then you'll need to look at implementing a filter
of some kind to look for restricted URLs in the outgoing data to the browser
and change/remove/block as required. If you are using a CMS you could look
to see if that has a filtering system to prevent users from entering any
tags that reference external files.
