Do people that drive cars know how cars work ? Do they care ? Maybe we should create a Top Level Domain named .SPIN. That TLD could be used to register the free SPIN numbers at the second level. For example, Bell Atlantic might have 143001398.SPIN for Pennsylvania. A TXT Record could be included in the DNS to contain the name "Pennsylvania" for the SPIN number. After registering a SPIN number, an ISP could add A records for their ASNs and OUI information. Since an A record is a general purpose container for 32 bit quantities, a single A record can be used to hold an ASN in the low 16 bits. Another A record can hold the 24 bit OUI in the low 24 bits. With this, the following DNS entries would return A records: ASN.143001398.SPIN OUI.143001398.SPIN
Even *fewer* people understand how dns works, nor can configure it properly. This is easy to tell, log lame delegations on your nameserver. Or log the "invalid" hostnames stuff, folks with _/, etc.. in their dns entries. - Jared
