Who cares? Please stop wasting NANOG bandwidth that could be better used debating peering/depeering with gibberish about fringe DNS systems.

Report this to NANOG and the IETF.  Make sure you send them a copy of my
response and the headers of this message.  I am holding UNIDT personally
responsible for this technical nightmare.
Make sure to also report when pigs fly and the aliens decide to publicly make contact.

Apologies to anyone already .procmailrc'ing Peter to /dev/null for sneaking this into your inbox.
