    Can this be done on the web-proxy boxes that the ISPs have on their
    networks?  I.e. dunk anything that looks for "/default.ida?blah"?
    
    This way the (in this case: minimal) cost _is_ deflected back to the ISPs,
    and traffic doesn't even go onto their backbone to waste bandwidth.
    
    _AND_ this would be a completely technical solution. 
    
    CHeers,
    Gert-Jan.
