Better: A real name pointing to a different host, such as 127.0.0.1.

But I still haven't heard any evidence that this will noticeably affect
NSI's traffic. Post-hoc-propter-hoc garbage is not evidence. If there's
a torrent of dynamic updates, then that'll be obvious from a traffic
sample, so why does NSI say that it hasn't figured out the problem?
