Hi Hamish,

I don't see any set:adblock on any host. How are selected hosts, which
should receive adblock server?

--log-dhcp might help to log also tags obtained for each requests. It
should help you checking selected hosts got assigned adblock tag to
whatever rule you have used. And then just set common options for the tag.
