Also, I'd like to add that there are no real policies (that I know of) 
that prevent T2 operators from limiting access to their servers in any 
way. If you want to firewall off all of China, I see no problem with 
that. I think the only real requirement I see is that you need to tell 
us in the T2 registration page what limitations your server has. 
Honestly, if you want to run a public resolver with no limitations for 
all of the world, yay! If you only want people local to you to connect? 
(ARIN IPs only in the US for instance) yay!

We aren't in the business of telling people how to run their servers 
and I should hope that in the future this won't change.   If we ever do 
have a centralized system for registration, I would hope that IP 
registration would be optional at the most.

Anyway, my 2 cents.
