spyware defense trick

[Gary Dobbins <dobbins () ND EDU>]

Is anyone using, or considering, using campus DNS to misdirect
hostnames of known spyware-installing sites, as a way to stem the tide
of this nuisance?

We're handling many "infected" machines, to the point where the cost
is becoming a burden.  Some systemic defense is called-for.
