   Well, if you have your own cacheing DNS server, you can minimise that traffic   
   too.  I don't mind the DNS lookups, if they're going to help, but not when they   
   break something that should work.

   I don't have the link, but it was posted somewhere a month or two ago.  It was   
   a Perl script, IIRC.
