A system to tell from your website if the DNS on a visitors system has been 
compromised?

Great it will allow me to know when visitors to my website might have been 
compromised whilst visiting other peoples websites. Perhaps I can open a 
pop-up saying "Your PC has been compromised, download our antivirus software 
to solve this problem" - or did I miss something ;)

Scarily I looked at the log files on one of our webservers, and a 1/3rd of IP 
addresses contacting port 80 were involved in some sort of abuse of our 
service. Okay that includes the AOL proxies, but still....
