I personally have seen significant increases in the requests when brought into DNS rotation over the last few months. I am supplying the service on a 512 broadband link and over the last few weeks when I have been brought in via the DNS my access to the Internet is crippled for up to 15 minutes. I monitored the network with iptraf during one such "storm" a few days ago and incoming requests peaked at 36 packets/s and around 42 kbits/s total load. Given these kind of loads it is difficult to see if people like me can sustain the service without upgrading to accommodate it. This is something I would not consider in the light that I am paying for a free service to some other parties.
