The list could be generated from IP addresses set in a user panel at
www.opennic.glue and then mirrored to resolvers. At times there has been
expressed interest a type of SSO from there. This would be a step towards
enabling that. Shared domain registration, mailing lists subscriptions,
voting, and this kind of "Register IPs here you wish to access OpenNIC
nameservers from:" setting.

Obviously there is a privacy concern because at this point IP addresses and
usernames are logged at www.opennic.glue, but the nice thing is that they
aren't tied together on other resolvers. So it's a single focus point to fix
the privacy concerns. Just throwing out one idea, the user panel's list of IPs
on someone's account could be encrypted using a password so only they see them
(and the operator of the ACL generation service only sees the aggregate list.)
