Actually, this *does* make the spammer's lives a whole lote easier. See my post to Bugtraq from about a year ago titled "Permitting recursion can allow spammers to steal name server resources". It pretty much hinges on the spammers finding an authority that will react quickly to change requests. Worst part is a year after that post I still see this activity taking place. :( HTH, Chris
