If the number of complaints is significant enough to bother your 
provider, it might consider it cheaper to shut down your service.  I 
don't know whether your provider will bother spending money to keep 
your service running even if your tool is considered as something good.

It might help other people to know which nameserver should not be 
used for DNS queries.
