I have friends that even run an apache and point common web advertising
domains to it.  It's an okay strategy to replace almost all banner ads
with null pages.  I don't bother doing that.  I mostly view banner ads
the way I do on TV.  I know they pay for the content and sometimes they
are at least as creative as the content.  I view banner ads very
differently than I view spam.

There's been discussion of starting a parallel DNS infrastructure for
censored sites like wikeleaks.  Doing this sort of redirection would
foil that approach.  I am ambigvalent about where to see the border
between legitimate free speech and piracy.
