even something 5 years old. Squid is also good for blocking ads (sites load much faster).
So is SuSEfirewall. nslookup doubleclick.com etc and entered into the output chain with label "dump" works extremely well. I wrote a short script and just add IPs to a file. Volker
Don't forget to do this regularily since IP's change. Oh and if you figure out how to block the url: http://www.cnn.com/ads/* via dns I'd love to know ;) DNS/IP are IMHO a poor way to block ads, squid is much smarter and easier to work with. Kurt

The point being that you can't use dns (and /etc/hosts *is* dns, just on a very small scale ) to block an area of one site, but still allow access to another area eg : if you dissallow http://www.somesite.dom/ using it's ip, then http://www.somesite.dom/badstuff/ does get blocked :-) but so does http://www.somesite.dom/goodstuff/ :-( <2 cents> squid and squidguard work well for me </2 cents> HTH Maf.
