They must have known that this would cause routing issues, and now suddenly it's our responsibility to make significant changes to live infrastructures just so they can continue to look clever with the IP address.
I am very impressed at Cloudflare’s forward thinking to force investing a significant amount of IPv4 infrastructure. This will obviously become even more important in the future as IPv6 withers away and is replaced by IPv4. And, I repeat, please tell me how many end users know about or care about DNS, even after reading snake oil advertisements. James R. Cutler James.cutler@consultant.com PGP keys at http://pgp.mit.edu
