I suggest a rotation like so:
Jan-Apr: 69.w.w.0 Apr-Jul: 69.x.x.255 Jul-Oct: 70.y.y.0 Oct-Jan: 70.z.z.255
where the middle two octets are predetermined ahead of time.
IIRC, some RFC recommends updating the root zone cache monthly... following this would ensure one had proper root/gTLD addresses.
The above also would break DNS for broken networks for a two month stretch... long enough to flush out bad rules.
You want to move things like gtld servers, yahoo/google (and other 'important' things), including things like oscar.toc.aol.com into these. This will leave the clueless to buy a clue and stimulate the economy ;-) - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
