Make singleton zones for each address you want to kill, even if it's inside
someone else's zone.

In named.conf:

"ads.inl.co.nz" { type master; file "go-away.zone"; };

In go-away.zone:

@ 999999999 IN SOA @ root 1 1 1 1 1 1
@ 999999999 IN NS my.local.name.server.  ; don't forget the trailing dot
@ 999999999 IN A 192.168.255.99

In apache.conf:

<VirtualHost 192.168.255.99:80>
Alias / /dev/null   # Or something like that... will need tweaking
</VirtualHost>

You only have to add one line for each one in named.conf, the rest just has
to be done once.
