Thats right, its his machine, its his software, its not up to you to
"control" them, thats his job, they are his machines, not yours..

Your wishes are irrelevant, you cannot tell others how to run, much less,
setup their systems.

You mean it gives him a uniform method to resolve your IP address, thats
all DNS does.

No matter how you slice it, with this so called aliasing, its still
ods.org's DNS server that reveals your IP address.

Do you see me using this alternate aliasing from our friends from OZ?

If someone did, it still doesnt matter, it all still falls back to the DNS
you did setup.

Is this DNS aliasing published somewhere?
