Come on, you're asking the root and/or TLD operators to renumber their servers -- not a trivial task -- every few months to intentionally disable their own service for what amounts to an academic experience.
Not for academic experience, but to encourage people to fix their broken filters. And while renumbering a large network might be non-trivial, changing the IP or adding an IP alias on 13 individual servers should be a trivial operation.
These folks are in the business of running a critical system that requires 100% uptime for hundreds of millions of users, and they do a damned good job. Let them do it in peace, and find some other "must have" service (like porn) to put in 69/8.
100% uptime for the service, not for each individual server. So now the 69/8 holders, in addition to driving a campaign to get others to fix their networks, should offer free hosting to porn sites? How about free hosting for spamvertized sites?...oh wait, that might make the problem worse :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis () lewis org*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
