It figures that a telstra internet guy would have no idea how IP or DNS
works. It is in no way a technical issue, it is just Telstra abusing the
system to get a an inappropriate domain that they think is somehow
"cooler" but makes life difficult for their customers and anyone trying to
find their site.

Remember that the deregulation of the telecomms industry came out of
exactly the kind of unsavoury deal that Harradine is trying to swing now.
