It reminded me of this clever hack used to store the source code of DeCSS (CSS descrambler that let you bypass the DVD DRM) in DNS records: http://decss.zoy.org/ (method 9).

"Mark Baker noticed that you could do the request to any nameserver. Which means for instance that the DeCSS source code is available from the DVDCCA's nameservers !"

Classic.
