iView uses the following config file for redirecting you to a special unmetered video source: <http://www2b.abc.net.au/iView/Services/iViewHandshaker.asmx/isp> The server it is on, www2b.abc.net.au, resolves to the same IP address from home, as well as from Fremont, CA. So in that particular example, it's IP-based, not DNS-based, thank goodness. www2b.abc.net.au appears to be the ABC's "Windows box" from what I've seen from the outside. It's the box that runs their tacky message board, as well as serving out various stuff from hidden URLs, usually that are quite hard to get to.
