I hazard a guess and say they'll probably say similar things to the general response on this mailing list - DNS is one of many possible attack vectors and is most probably the wrong spot to do this. Stop trying to fix things in the core - it won't work, honest - and start trying to fix things closer to the edge where the actual problem is. I view this kind of thing as an operational issue insomuch as it might affect my network - but malware writers are botnet operators are smarter than they once were and aren't nearly as "spray your mark everywhere as quickly as possible" as exploits used to be.
