On another list I saw a discussion regarding this (the FSB list archive http://www.crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi/0/ thread "Exporting Crypto in Practice" from december 2000, best factual email is from Jonathan Shapiro) and the result was that they apply DNS screening (Sun) and put notices on the site.
