I have a ticket open with apple, but they haven't called me yet. Does anybody know what IP/DNS I can block to prevent iOS devices from downloading iOS6 OTA?

we blocked gs.apple.com but apparently some devices are still getting updated.

    Interesting... if you figure out a way to effectively prevent iOS updates by blocking a certain DNS, I'd really like to know.

    -Thanks

    This is still relevant, so here you go. This appears to work. We'll know in a few minutes when Apple is supposed to be releasing iOS7.
