Hi,

All of these NEED to be enforced:

�takedown� efforts by making it difficult to track illegal activity and
identify its actual location. .Registries and registrars can curb the
practice in two ways: (1) by monitoring DNS activity (fast flux is easy to
detect) and reporting suspicious behavior to law enforcement or other
appropriate reporting mechanism; and (2) by adopting measures that make fast
flux either harder to perform or unattractive. Some possible measures that
have been suggested include:
� authenticating contacts before permitting changes to NS records;
� preventing automated NS record changes;
� enforcing a minimum �time to live� (TTL) for name server query responses6;
� limiting the number of name servers that can be defined for a given
domain; and (I think this one might be a maybe)

This is a VERY serious problem.

I am sending this on behalf of spacequad anti-spam services.

We are all joining together to let you know that we realize this is a
serious problem.
We appreciate your understanding.
