How's it going to break anything? I just created one... tentententen.ipq.co. 86400 IN A 10.10.10.10so...now I can use tentententen.ipq.co as a name that resolves to 10.10.10.10...assuming I trust ipq.co to keep that A record and not delete or change it at some point. Other than the fact that you can't change it[1], how is this any different (other than being less useful) or scarier than DynDNS?
1. EMAIL ADDRESSoptional, but will allow you to update the record later (once we implement it)
