The block list is there to stop pesky scripts, adverts, malware from being resolvable before I started to use NoScript. I used to have a large list of these somewhere, but probably got wiped during some upgrade or re-install. I should have a look at better software to block these.
I use Dan Pollock's host file at http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/ in conjunction with DNSMasq to do just that. Using DNSMasq centralises the hosts list and means that all the crap adware/spamware/rubbish sites listed get binned as local loopback.
Works for me.
I use DNSMasq too, and I do this: http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2010q2/003879.html
and I have a blacklist downloaded daily by a cron job as described here: http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2010q2/003877.html
I don't know how the blocklist I use compares to Dan Pollock's though.
HTH. Steve
