Don't you think creating a control point like that is dangerous? Especially dangerous when it's DNS which runs virtually every function on the internet?
Yeah, it could be indeed... It's not directly related to the discussion topic, but i just wanted to inform you about the current Internet censorship campaign promoted by the Italian government since last February 20th: a list of web sites offering (illegal) on-line gambling services is blocked through DNS records hijacking performed at the ISP level. In other words, the Italian government is forcing all the major ISPs to break regular DNS functionality and override these censored records: http://www.aams.it/site.php?page=20060213093814964&op=download Italy is the first "democratic" country to do something like that, AFAIK.
