For what it's worth, don't do that.
Block the top-level of doubleclick.net, and don't add extra doubleclick
sub-domains. Blocking doubleclick.net also takes care of
ad.doubleclick.net, at the same time, as well as any other sub-domain of
doubleclick.net.

Ok, I wasn't certain how much I could shorten the names.<br>
<br>
I have the Firefox Adblock extension which produced a large list of
offending URL's and shows the hit frequency. [Most of those names
listed I have already edited to make them catch a wider range of ad's.]
I picked a number of them that indicated up to 7000 hits and added them
to my blocking.conf file.<br>
<br>
Anyway, now that the dual entry is corrected it really works very well,
items that would take more than a minute at times now pop up in from
three to seven seconds. That may not sound good to you but bear in
mind that I have the ~500 ms delay in the satellite system that can
really add up over a string of ad's when some slow servers are
encountered! Firefox tells you what it's doing at the bottom of the
screen.<br>
