I can't help but think this doesn't belong in DNS, repeating hit after
hit on name servers when the information could be dealt with at a local
level has to be the better way to do it surely.

I wonder if this made it into the send-n proposal, in any case this
highlights further the need for a proper think about how to do this
rather than going bull at a gate with something that sort of works but
seems like a very nasty hack to me.

There seems to be a lot of effort to 'fix' the analogue problem, the
simple answer would be to move everyone to digital systems and when they
hit dial that's the final number :D
