[NTLUG:Discuss] Domain Hijacking / interception / filtering / redirection

I don't know what to call it yet, but I am preparing to implement some
function on a network where certain domain names will resolve to a local ip
address/ webserver.  I'm tired of cleaning up after Win32 users who don't
know how to click 'NO'.  So, major advertisers, the gator networks, spyware
sites, and drive by browser infectors (xupiter) will now resolve to a local
webserver that will display a "this page blocked by corporate policy"
banner.

I'm toying with the idea of adding javascript to the page to automatically
close the page if the page is popup...but I'll have to make sure it's an
unwanted popup and not a yahoo search result with an unwanted ad!  HAHAHA!

So I'm converting over from djbdns to BIND on this internal-only DNS server.
Are there any 'gotchas' I'll need to look out for?  Does anyone know of
zone files that exist that already do this?  Any other comments are welcome.
