Its probably not a big deal, and if selling bits on the wire makes money "the more the merrier" might be a catch-cry but I wondered if there was a NANOG dimension to these bloody irritating X-10 popups that curse me more and more.

Is there some well understood non-edge solution to this kind of crap or do we all wind up rolling our own?

This isn't quite the universal solution you're looking for, but my method is to load an x10.com zone on our nameservers, with a wildcard A record pointing to loopback. Stops all x10 ads dead. IANAI however, so it's not nearly the headache it would be were a major ISP/NSP to choose this method :) -Matt
