I thought I had made it clear about the cons. Obviously the con would be someone contacting say Global or Level3 or someone else with: "OMFG like... Some virus!", the cost of doing business. That doesn't stop them NOW from Googling "security" +"Global", they're not doing an nslookup for contact information. I would like to believe that the majority of people doing nslookup's for contact information usually have a higher grasp of what they're looking for. Ask any "Average Joe" to perform an nslookup and compare those results to deer on the highways looking at those high-beams. You can't expect someone with a less than mission critical reason to contact someone in a higher position, there is no guarantee someone wouldn't be clueful enough to just Google "SOC" +"Global Crossing" +SOC (http://www.google.com/search?q=%22global+crossing%22+%2B%22SOC%22+%2Bcontact) What I infer from you is "right... Buddy go ahead and do it... Then the whole world will be screaming about not-so-important shtuff!" If this is the case, what's to stop them from using Google. For the most part, we can infer a large portion of users outside of those with *some* form of networking concepts/experience, can use and know what nslookup is for. Placing relevant information is not going to "cripple SOC" no more than Google would. =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ J.
