But that's _their_ problem, or, more precisely, their users' problem.
It just deserves a big "WARNING: If you are a customer of $ISPLIST, be
aware that you may experience some reachability failures, because your
provider is breaking one of the fundamental protocols underlying the
Internet; see [here] for the gory details" in the customer-facing
interface.

Even if the OP does find some other way to get it, how long until ISPs
that go out of their way to break such setups when they depend on DNS
find a way to break them when done other ways too?
