Um, I can point
www.example.aarnet.edu.au
to whatever IP address I care to. I don't need the IP address owner's
permission. I do need to be able to update the zone
example.aarnet.edu.au,
either manually or using dynamic DNS.
It's the reverse DNS that the owner of the IP address space controls.
So, what happens when you do,
www.example.aarnet.edu.au A IN 203.7.132.1
in your live DNS,
and I or anyone say at AOL will not successfully access
http://www.example.aarnet.edu.au.
Do a,
# whois 203.7.132.1
and you'll see this ip address is not owned by
aarnet.edu.au
of course.
