This is why DNS blackholing is easier. Adding an authoritative
reference for a domain grabs all references to it. Similarly, a
suitably formed expression should work similarly, e.g.:
*.doubleclick.com
*.doubleclick.net

Is Webwasher a local proxy or a remote one? I'd thought the former,
sounds not.
As far as tracking your surfing, I'm chatting with a guy who's pointed
me to a site that gets direct logs from ISPs, on claim was they had
about 35% of the market in their service area. Ties full demographics
(they've got your ISP) with traffic patterns. Lesson: you can't trust
anyone to see both ends of your connection.
