That might be useful for the 0.00000001% of the population that read your post, but wouldn't it make sense that sites using the script make changes?

on some cases (only the very same as putting that dns file in your run off the mill dsl/cable modem anyway). namely when you are at home using wifi. using an app that doesnt do it's own dns, etc.
