So explain how this is superior to DNS entr(y|ies) stating who your peers and upstreams are. And there's nothing to say that one could not specify allowed filters in DNS, too.
You don't want to do this with DNS. Trust me. There are far too many seriously screwed up nameservers out there -- including many TLD nameservers, and even some mildly mis-configured root nameservers. Until such time as these issues get addressed (either DNS software gets more idiot-resistant, or we have DNSSEC and things like cache pollution are basically impossible), you want to find other ways to handle these sorts of things. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
