Yes, with IE (since 4 I believe, but definitely for 5 onwards) you
can classify domains in various categories (general/trusted/
restricted) and implement different security policies for each.

Of course, I'd bet that far less than 1% of IE users even KNOW
about that, much less are fluent enough to USE this feature:-).
