It would be no worse than NEW.NET or any other form of DNS pollution/piracy (like the alternate root whackos), as long as it was clearly labelled. As an occasional operator of infrastructure, I wouldn't like the complaint load I'd see if the customers of such ISP's thought that *I* was inserting the garbage they were seeing. So I guess my hope is, it'll be "opt-in" with an explicitly held permission for every affected IP address (perhaps using some kind of service discount or enhancement as the carrot.) -- Paul Vixie
