you don't need their ip, just the domain name - ie: ad.doubleclick.net,
googleads.g.doubleclick.net, adfarm.mediaplex.com

just to name a few

stumbled upon that concept somewhere, while looking for something else,
but couldn't get it to work with the hostsfile in mac os 9 (probably did
something wrong or couldn't find it or something) and complained to that
cute little code nerd I know and who set up the router for me - he told me
I could do it in the router

I don't know about other routers, this one's kinda nerdy thing, a soekris
box, running m0n0wall

I like it ;-)
