Ask HN: How would you make a site resistant to government takedown?

I mentioned this in the Poker thread. (If I had time right now, I'd consider implementing it.) I would like and would use a DNS service that 1) did not keep any record of my queries and 2) would not propagate government takedowns (e.g. by ignoring updates with NS:ns2.cirfu.net.

I'm writing a DNS service at the moment.

Care to elaborate?

1) Explicit privacy policy that never stores DNS requests on a per-client basis. I haven't followed the ISP retention laws but they seemed to be getting more and more ominous.

2) While caching DNS record, when freshing up a stale record,

  if(isknownSeizureDomain(record)) ignore();

Ah I understand, you're talking about a non-authoritative DNS server. I'm working on a DNS hosting service.

To solve your first requirement, check out http://www.opennicproject.org/publictier2servers
