on the one hand, you'd need a wildcard A RR at *.doubleclick.net to
achieve this result.  the above text does not mention this, and leads
one to believe that an apex A RR at doubleclick.net would have an effect.

on the other hand, if you do this for a nameserver that your customers
depend on, then there is probably some liability for either trademark
infringement, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage,
and the gods alone know what else.  if you do this, keep it to a server
you run on 127.0.0.1 and ensure that you are its only user.
