Wasn't going to comment on this thread as I really can't add much (as I
read the entire thread bemused as I still don't see the prob even when
i learned abou this zero day days ago) but amen to Allen's comment
here.  There are multiple issues here and DNS and / or
$insert_favorite_technology isn't the problem.

On completely OT side comment for laughs: why is nobody blaming the
real root problem here ... marketing folk and their insistent drive for
multimedia for sales reasons (e.g.animated cursors and HTML email) :)
