Why not offer it over DNS - it is basically a huge associative array and DNS is designed for this stuff.<br /> </cite></p> <p>Some people send way to much stuff over a TXT record .. and then one wonders why DNS is a problem.. it's being abused for all the things wasn't designed in the first place. And people also trust it too much while it never was desgined for that either.</p> <p>Oh well.. at least <a href="http://thomer.com/howtos/nstx.html" rel="nofollow">IP over DNS</a> is usefull :)</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/crazy-stuff-over-dns#comments dns dnsproblem ip wikipedia Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:44:58 +0000 Kris Buytaert 850 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
