This will just block requests from hosts at example.com.
Kevin wanted to deny traffic referred from example.com.
There's really no technical solution for this, since Web surfing 
is a peer-2-peer setup. 
A clever user could get past this catch
by cutting and pasting the URL in the browser location bar
(instead of clicking the link on the example.com page )
