Not picking on you in particular, but isn't one of the greatest advantages to having DNS to offer *meaningful* names to machines(assuming anything other than a home network?) It's nice to be able to go in to a company and see machines named "www1, www2, mx1, mx2" etc. which offer some indication as to their purpose rather than "maverick, foozlebutt, blarg", etc. which offers no such indication. I know it isn't as fun, but it certainly seems to be much more useful (IMO of course...)
Sure. Esp. for blackhats. Which makes the more "attactive" target; db.accounting.bigcorp.com foozlebutt.bigcorp.com ... YMMV --bill
