Why do you think the ISP knows anything more precise that the
information they already give in the IN-ADDR.ARPA name?  Let's encode
the ZIP Code in the router DNS name ... (well, someone had to suggest
using DNS as the universal database solution eventually).

Well that's fun... whenever you see a phone number you can get its
physical location.  Doesn't sound like such a good idea to me,
privacy-wise.

niels, always making it harder to stalk people :( darn you!
