Well written. They lose. SE does this, same method. After initial
confusion, most people running DNS agree that it is a Good Thing to
do. Some people don't. Running the risk of being whacked (as usually)
I'd dare say that those people probably should not be running DNS,
at least not charge for the service.

Yes, there are exceptions. But they are few and far between.
