I don't want to have it contaminated for eternity and I don't really think it 
is. But it wouldn't be a problem to take this hostname out of DNS for like 
half a year. What do exactly mean with contanimated? What traffic do you 
think I'll still have after half a year without any GWC servers and answering 
with ICMP REJECT upon requests?

That won't be a problem.

No, it's a static IP with a .de Domain used for the GWC:

I'll give it a try...
