[TriLUG] mozilla pause for ads

I think "how to set up local caching DNS" would make for a great future
class or part of a class aimed at newer Linux users.

If it's a RR DNS issue, take the few mins it takes to setup a local caching
DNS server.  It's one good reliable way to speed up your connection, in a
manner of speaking.  And also, for every service that you implement
internally, and don't rely on externally, the more isolated you are from
other people's errors.  But don't get too cocky, you should still leave a
backup DNS server or two in your /etc/resolv.conf to isolate you from your
own errors, as well.  :)
