Layered Service Providers (LSP)

[Cobi]

I've seen another way to implement this approach yesterday, were a little tool called iWeb Server (its just a little exe and works without installation) was supplied with the programm,

(http://www.ashleybrown.co.uk/iweb/)

and a new entry was added to the Host file (C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC) to relocate a specific Adress, for example www.thinstall.com, to localhost.
So you don't have to play around in Kernel Mode or other build dependent regions of Windows and to minimize the compatibility of your release.
