Where can I add a script

For years I have been blocking adds on my LAN using on my IPCop box an extended /etc/hosts file, which holds around 250.000 lines like
127.0.0.7 www.doubleclick.com

Up to now this was done by running a cron job evey ten minutes, which launches a script:

#!/bin/bash
# Append my blacklist of hosts from /var/tmp/badhosts to /etc/hosts if hosts.cgi
# has been run to update /var/ipcop/main/hosts.
if [[ ! /var/ipcop/main/hosts -ot /etc/hosts ]]
then
        cat /var/tmp/badhosts >> /etc/hosts
        /usr/bin/killall -s HUP dnsmasq
fi

This works, but is not satisfying: misuse of resources, up to ten minutes without protection after updating the hosts file through the GUI.

So I was wondering: would it be possible to launch the script from hosts.cgi whenever this is run, and so run it only once, immediately after the /etc/hosts file has been re-created ?
 
Cheers,
 
Ron.
