I personally use Squid. I use a redirector called adzap created by
some guy who (used to?) work for the Australian ISP zipcom.com.au.
It's pretty effective at nailing ad banners, flash and MP3 ads.

Adzap was GPL'd up until May 26, 1999 when the Australian government
passed internet censorship legislation. The code is freely usable and
redistributable now with one important gotcha: You may *NOT* use it to
enforce the Australian Broadcasting Services Amendment (Online
Services Bill) of 1999 or any legislation anywhere of similar intent.
The law in question is here:
