This is impossible, as I explained.

You can say 'free=ip.address' and subdomains will follow.

> 3. I could set the recursor to use OpenNic root hints. I tried this before and obviously performance is not as good as normal (i.e. without their root hints). It would also mean I have to keep an eye on the hints file to make sure it is up to date.

Performance should not differ a lot unless their (tier1) root servers are very slow.

Kind regards,
