[Gllug] A little OT - suppressing Ads

[Ian Northeast]

This isn't really about Linux (although I do run some nameservers on 
Linux) but I think there will be folks here with valuable 
opinions/experience.

I am considering suppressing adverts on websites for our users by 
pointing *.doubleclick.net at 127.0.0.1 on the internal nameservers. I 
have done it on the home network to test it. This seems to take care of 
most of the ads and not cause much problem. It does make eBay a bit 
cumbersome but our users at work aren't supposed to be using eBay - we 
are in the container shipping business and I have yet to see anyone 
selling container space on eBay (there has been the odd ship, granted, 
but not the sort we use:) I've not noticed any other problem so far.

Any opinions or experiences as to the wisdom of this?

Regards, Ian
