(I'm actually surprised more sites haven't started responding by proxying ad content through their own servers to make it harder to block.)
- irons 17y agoDoubleclick doesn't allow proxied ad distribution, and I'm not sure a similar effect could be achieved through DNS. The Ars thread touches on this, where Kurt mentions that Doubleclick's ad deployment isn't smart enough to detect flash-blockers and serve a static ad, and Ars isn't permitted to replace Doubleclick's deployment code.
