ad.doubleclick.net missing from DNS?

Tue Jul 27 22:21:26 UTC 2004

Now the question is, can one easily block all of doubleclick.net by 127.0.0.1 in the hosts file
on a wincrash box? They appear to have ad, ad2, ad3, m2, m3.doubleclick.net. Anyone know
what hosts to list??? (ie: ad2, ad3 ... to ad<x>???)
