- Please do. If you come up with any concrete ideas, please share them

- religious war, and, as such, I won't be participating any more. (Plus,
- Chris Davis and David Barr always make my points anyway... =)

- A solution like "Have a forwarder to send unknown addresses to" is
- prone to serious configuration errors - what happens if two people
- configure each other as their unknown-host forwarder? Don't just brush
- this off as a configuration problem; your main complaints with the DNS
- seem to be caused by configuration problems.
