Just to add my 2c ...

If I remember correctly there where actually some operators, albeit some
time ago, who used this kind of DNS setup to effectively route traffic to
"other" sites rather than the "real" sites.  I have often done this on an
internal DNS server where management required inhouse users to not be able
to access a specific site (albeit a bit of a kludge).

Getting back to Alan's original question:
In my mind this is very much an ethical and legal issue.  What MWEB is
doing is allowing any of their clients to effectively hi-jack a domain name
and force their own DNS records on all of MWEB's customers.  Surely their
legal "team" can understand this if put this simply?  Customer A can
effectively disrupt services for customer B.  Surely that is against their
terms and conditions of service?
