I'm now quite sure that it's doubleclick.net's DNS servers.  A "traceroute6 
www.google.com" fails right away, but "traceroute6 ad.de.doubleclick.net" 
sits for about 28 seconds before timing out.  Same for 
ad.{us,fr}.doubleclick.net.  This is the server that is referenced in the 
script element on that page.

This is essentially in line with what the other fellow said a while back 
(sorry, don't have the message handy).

The problem is that every fscking website except Google and kuroshin.org have 
these stupid banner ads from doubleclick.net at the top of the page.

The best workaround I've come up with is to put:
- -----8<---------
zone "doubleclick.net" {
    type master;
    file "/etc/bind/db.blackhole";
    allow-query { any; };
};
- -----8<-----------
in my /etc/bind/named.conf and
- ------8<-------------

in /etc/bind/db.blackhole.  Hehe.  This probably isn't something we can 
distribute with KDE though.... (Would be nice.. ;-)
