A free hint to Google to help the industry:
If a network engineer could prove to have control of the DNS in a
network by adding some record (txt?) that Google would verify, a account
could be created at google which would provide a list of IPs causing the
trouble.
That would help the network team to find the users causing the AAAA
blacklisting and fix the issue. And that would help Google too. A win win?
Or did I misunderstand something?
