Hi Irene,
Thanks for the details.
Do you know what happens practically, if a picture is uploaded to mySpace
(for example) and added to the list?
Presumably there must be some notification to hostmasters as we aren't
seeing the big social networking and image hosting sites flicker in and out
of the DNS system?
