May I ask what are you settings you have? I went through these tutorials explained in my thread I have going on here. The tutorials were here and here. Where the second one is actually more helpful.
However, I wasn't able to resolve any domain as in i had no access to the internet. I then changed my settings to what I have explained in my response here but now I think I am not doing it right. I mean I have used some test sites to show if I have any ads coming in but I feel those sites aren't really telling me much. Also the logs do show it is blocking correctly but just not sure why it works if i don't have it setup like you or most people seem to have it.
I may have gone on a rant, but basically I am curious if you can help me give me your settings to see if I mimic again and see what I get when I try those when I get home. I haven't gone back to this in a while.
