Nope, its real. Slow but real. It makes a good backup DNS so you could use it to manually update your 'hosts' files.

What I really need is DNS over Fax.

I'm sure there's a fax to twitter gateway somewhere.

If not, give it by Monday and I'm sure some one will create an asterisk box with hylafax and have it mail it over to something to do ocr.....

I knew that it worked, I just assumed that it was made as a joke

Usually if I don't have dns access I don't have an easy way to access twitter I think? I could be wrong about this. Is this meant to be used by text messages?

And if you do have access to a website, there are many other sites you can use for resolving addresses.

You can use Twitter via SMS, I suppose. =P

Write a short script to resolve Twitter's address. Run it on a cron to pop it into your hosts file.

Now you can get to Twitter in the case of a resolver being down. Woo!
