One option... cheat

Make your dns server authoritative
for doubleclick.net, and have no entries
(or optionally your own web server as an * entry)
in the zone file.

named stores it's cache in memory. You can get a dump
of the current cache.. don't remember the exact syntax
but it's in the man page.
