I think we should modify the FreeBSD DNS server to respond to all gethostbyaddr() requests in "pig latin", e.g.: lister# nslookup > set q=any > 112.71.218.66.in-addr.arpa. 112.71.218.66.in-addr.arpa name = w1-ay.rc-ay.scd-ay.ahoo-yay.om-cay 71.218.66.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns1-ay.ahoo-yay.om-cay 71.218.66.in-addr.arpa nameserver = ns2-ay.ahoo-yay.om-cay And then modify sendmail and mozilla and Internet Explorer to make up for our f-'ed up DNS server, since it should "be generous in what it accepts". 8^P. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
