a separate DNS CLASS, say "SN" for "Special Name".  Zero impact on
the ICANN/IANA root from queries gone bad, no conflict with names
ICANN allocates even if the labels are the same (remember that
QCLASS=ANY has never worked), etc.

Classes in DNS are an old idea (see

for a defunct project) see the recent thread starting on
<http://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dnsop/2JzQL2TeNc63qOoD7zl84Yu8p1I>
on dnsop, to see why it's a bad idea.
