seems logical. i have changed the reverse IP records before changing the NS records and some dns servers took the ip record as authoritive. It pissed my off because I wasn't ready to make the change yet and I had to scramble to finish making the web sites live. So if IP routing tables and DNS records were erased, wouldn't that open everyone up to hijacking domains and sites? you can bet i'd be putting
www.ebay.com and
www.google.com on my server just to divert traffic.
it is a robust and redundant system. however, i wouldn't be suprised if there was a way to shut it down on a mass scale.
i remember that when allot of the US lost internet because of the power outages. even though i wasn't effected websites were either slow or non-exsistant.
a constantly rolling IP change would fuck things up for good.
