URLs of web pages are not made available by DNS and, it seems, accessing the DNS is illegal anyway.

Now *there's* an interesting twist :-) When you do a dns lookup, you (usually) have no idea which server will resolve the name eventually, much less whether you're actually authorized to use it.

Ah, but wait - it's a system that's been placed in a public place, integrated into a public database, with full instructions on use, no beware of the tiger sign, and which will freely answer when questioned. Does that make a difference, I wonder?
