Run dnsspoof on your firewall. Works like a charm. Part of the dsniff package. Includes a ready made hostfile that contains loads of the annoyances and you add your own. Does wildcard names too, like *.adserver.* Also resolves names for LAN hosts if you add them. Easy, but remember to pkill dnsspoof and restart it after any update to the spoofing config file. >From the land "down under": Australia. Do we look <umop apisdn> from up over?
