<div>Hi, folks:</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As you may know, we're looking into mitigating DNS namespace "collisions" related to ICANN's New gTLD program. See here for background:</div>
<div><br>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have an idea we call "controlled interruption" which essentially involves DNS queries into new TLDs returning an IP inside 127/8 temporarily. Objective being to help operators become aware of potential use of global DNS namespace (intentionally or
unintentionally).</div>
<div><br>

<div>Please look here:</div>
