Given that you're basically telling people to use these names in a
context where DNS names are expected to go, I would like to suggest
that you want to do something than make up a string that you think
won't collide in the DNS, for two reasons: (1) these queries will
sometimes leak by accident onto the public DNS, where they're "junk",
and (2) a new TLD applicant of the future could ask for .dns, and
there's no obvious reason why ICANN would have to say no.  This will
represent a security risk to your users.

I would like to suggest some other domain name.  You can register any
available thing you like.  It need not actually resolve in the public
DNS, as long as it is registered so that nobody else can get it.

Over in the DNSOP working group, there's quite a lively discussion
about these issues going on.

Best regards,

A
