They are separate but also linked by being issues that only be addressed at the registrar level, through TOS. Since some registrars have a financial incentive not to address these issues, in practice, they can be implemented only by ICANN policy (mandated much like the domain refund period).
I'd point out that FastFlux is actually sort of how Akamai does it's job (inconsistent dns responses)
That's not really fast flux. FF uses TTLs of just a few seconds with dozens of NS. Also, in practice, most FF NS are invalid. Not that FF has a fixed definition...
Domain tasting has solutions on the table (thanks drc for linkages) but was a side effect of some customer-satisfaction/buyers-remorse loopholes placed in the regs...
The domain tasting policy was, if I recall, intended to address buyers of one to a few domains, not thousands. Would be a simple matter to fix, in a functional organization.
I'm not sure a shipping company really is the best place to solicit... or did you mean DHS? and why on gods green earth would you want them involved with this?
Yes, sorry, DHS. :-) At least they are sensitive to security matters and would, in theory, not be as easily influenced by politics as was the NSF. Roger Marquis
