Again, not to drag this further off topic, but the most unsettling thing I've head about IOT recently was this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2015/03/11/privacy-advocates-try-to-keep-creepy-eavesdropping-hello-barbie-from-hitting-shelves/ Now not just *advertising* is aimed at kids, but the products themselves may collect personal data about them (over the Internet to a central big-data repository for semantic analysis) and use them for deeper personalized manipulation, yikes... I can just see it now, when some advertiser pays for "product placement" in the Hello Barbie doll: "So Missy, if you don't get your parents to buy you Happy Fun Cereal for breakfast, I won't be your friend anymore. I want you to prove you did -- tell me the sales code from the box to make sure." But of course, this goes far beyond the realm of DNS per se, sorry for the tangent...
