ppp and Mandrake create some wierd interactions.  After tracking the
dynamic nameservers change through the scripts, I gave up and just copy
a template /etc/resolv.conf (use /etc/ppp/ip-up.local for this, dynamic
dns updates etc as well) containing a couple of search domains and
localhost over the one Mandrake/kppp insists on creating.  I run a full
bind at home and a cacheing one on the laptop (bind 9). Modify the
options section similar to below.  The forwarders is what you want -
iinet (& Murdoch!) rarely change their DNS machines so manually fixing
if they change is not a problem.

Squid has a simple redirector perl script somewhere in their documents,
but you need to do some regex's for what you want to block.  A lot of
work these days & not worth the effort.  Same with squirm, which
otherwise worked well.  Gave up on squidguard as I could never get it to
work on URL's, just IP's (possibly a bind/dns prob?).  Squidguard would
be great as it does a lot more than just addvertisements, if only I
could get it to work!  My current favourite is from
"http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/scripts/squid_redirect" which seems to work
well with the adds I object to the most!
