How about allocating some "good sounding" IP addresses for them,
(like 1.0.0.x/32) and hard-wiring them into resolver code?  Would
save quite a lot of configuration headaches for newbies.


Hardwiring anything like this into a system like DNS sounds like a really
bad idea if only for the simple reason that DNS is not just used on the
Internet, but also within private networks.  Having hardwiring IP numbers in
this case would cause headaches of unimaginable proportions.
