I'm trying to come up with solutions with which I can block ads from websites, and 
also prevent loading ads from sites like doubleclick.com (those generally get embedded 
in someone else's website).

    A while ago I came across some post, or website where the author did something on 
his masq server which made all of those Ad sites resolve to localhost (127.0.0.1), 
which effectively prevented any of the masqed machines from loading any of those 
stupid ads.  There was some huge list of sites that he had collected and stuck in a 
file.  Problem is, I don't know where I had gotten that info from in the first place, 
nor what it was that he did that made it work.  I don't know if it was a local caching 
DNS server that he had running on his masq server with a long /etc/hosts file, or what.

    So, if anyone has an idea, I'm all ears.
