RE: Verisign abusing .COM/.NET monopoly, BIND releases new

For now, it is returning the same IP address, but I have no trouble
imagining Verisign evading DNS filters by changing the A records every
now and then. Any solution to prevent Verisigns greed should keep this
in mind.

From what I understand, BIND's approach is much more sophisticated than
a hardcoded (or configured) IP address.  AFAIK, it looks up the wildcard
TLD ip addresses and uses that to filter...so if the address should
change, it will automatically change BIND's filter settings.
