Caution! After surfing with ads blocked you'll find it difficult to go back! :) [You are redirecting to the 1x1.gif file, right?] I want to answer your last question first: Yes. :) If your squidGuard.conf contains "domainlist ads/domains", squidGuard will look for "ads/domains.db", and load it into memory if it exists. If ads/domains.db does not exist, squidGuard will read ads/domains and create the in-memory domains.db on-the-fly. On to the doubleclick issue... > But I added "doubleclick.net" to the domain list in the ads directory. > Problem is im still getting ads from "m3.doubleclick.net". > I dont want ANYTHING from doubleclick.net. I dont want to have to add > m1,m2,m3,m4.doubleclick.net. The good news is... that's the way squidGuard works! A domainlist that contains doubleclick.net will redirect on ANYTHING from doubleclick.net. BUT that statement is no longer true if that domainlist also contains ANY subdomain of doubleclick.net (e.g. m1.doubleclick.net). Read this post for a little background: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=squidguard&m=108260329925644&w=2 I just looked at the ads/domains file that comes in the squidGuard blacklist, and it has TONS of doubleclick.net entries in it. The squidGuard package comes with a utility that will solve this problem for you. The program is "sgclean.pl" and it can be found in your squidGuard-1.2.0/contrib/sgclean/ directory. You might want to scan through: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=squidguard&m=108285256707491&w=2 and a follow-up correction: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=squidguard&m=108490116801146&w=2 The bottom line is that sgclean is easy to run and it will solve the duplicate domain/subdomain problem. And no, you didn't miss it in the documentation. :) Rick
