I haven't been following things here for a while, so sorry if this has
already been noticed.

If not, here's a case of judicial interference with the DNS, coupled
with incompetent 'solutions'.

This is highly relevant to the ncsg constituency as many non-commercial
users live with dynamic IP addresses, using services such as no-ip to
have stable names in the DNS.

Of course, our terms of membership can be read to exclude these users -
but note that there's nothing to prevent a similar action being taken
against direct holders of domain names...

Here's the story:

The comments provide more detail - which for technical readers is tragic.
