1. this is a misc@ question, not tech.
2. that being said, this won't for very long. i tried that for a while, and the adservers would use icky routing games, round robin dns games, different big hosting companies and anycasted servers and dns servers such that i'd often shoot down something desirable. i would suggest the use of something like privoxy. this was a couple of years ago, an eternity in internet time, so here's hoping that this madness has changed.
3. you are trying to filter a network or networks that are designed to be robust against point failures. advertisers will pay the adserver who pays hosting companies to stay in the business of making damn sure that the adservers will still be up and serving even after world war 2^n obliterates all trace of aol, microsoft and sendmail.
4. to answer your question, i do not know of any such lists. perhaps you could run urlsnarf see where the ads are coming from. maybe grab a junkbuster blockfile, and resolve all the hosts listed therein. or make a list of all kinds of words and syllables related to advertising and try resolve them too.
