I'm not claiming to have thought of this, but I've implemented it at home and it's working well, so I thought I'd pass it on. I found instructions at www.afp548.com on how to set up my local DNS server to block ads.

The steps are fairly well laid out, and I didn't have any problems setting it up on OS X 10.2.8 Server.

[robg adds: As I usually do on such hints, I'll add a friendly reminder that ads are what help keep many free websites free. That said, many ads are amazingly annoying and distracting. That's why I prefer to block them at the local level, as I can then control exactly which ones I don't want to see...]
