Just to be clear, my sole reason for mentioning registration was to explore how to avoid being DoS'd all the time, which is becoming a problem and I haven't even opened my server up to the public yet, (well announced it as such).

In fact, I may well stop recursion all together, though as there is only one other T2 in the UK I had hoped to open offer mine up to the public. I'm still playing with DoS defense stuff.

I would open a dedicated one up but funds don't really allow.
