Well, perhaps somebody can root out some renegade spammers or so, they've

The real low-TTL DNS hackery comes from low TTLs on your NS
records, and aiming them at any of a small set of a million or more
bots that you've pwned, and then updating that delegation data with a
spam-friendly registrar like Network Solutions, who will be glad to
update the entire .com gTLD for you every five minutes.
Believe me, I've been doing spam fighting as long as I've been
mucking about with the DNS, and with my years of experience as the
Sr. Internet Mail Administrator for AOL, I have quite a bit of spam
fighting experience. I know how this sort of stuff is done. But I
don't think we can employ all the same techniques ourselves -- we
don't have a spare million-plus nameserver machines just lying
around, for one thing.
