Some more than others, I expect: g1-30(6.3-S)[4] host doubleclick.com doubleclick.com has address 127.0.0.1 g1-30(6.3-S)[5] host \*.doubleclick.com *.doubleclick.com has address 127.0.0.1 g1-30(6.3-S)[6] (My internal resolvers have a file that lists domains where: * they are configured to be masters for the domains in question and * everything resolves to 127.0.0.1. It does clutter the Apache error log a bit, but otherwise tends to speed page loading, as long as one doesn't object too strongly to 404 messages in place of ads.) It's not elegant -- indeed, it's rather more like blunt force -- but it is something I find useful and having been worth the effort (so far). I expect that Doubleclick (and similar enterprises) may find it less so, were the practice to become sufficiently common. Peace, david (who doesn't use Gmail, either) -- David H.
