If you're behind a NAT or any other router before you connect to the
internet (and you will be, even if it's just a bridgehead for
Shaw/Telus/Etc). Then you won't pass your MAC, so it won't matter beyond
that.

Otherwise this would have been done LONG ago.  This would be a simple
command for a macro, and if you set the infected people's MACs to be the
same as, say, the ROOT DNS servers (Just pick one randomly).  Aft a few
hundred people were infected, the Internet would slowly die as DNS Caches
timed out.  But the way it is, MAC info isn't passed, so this would have no
real effect.
