ARIN Justified...

[Simon]

Most popular search engines, those that drive 90+% of traffic, support IP-less domains. A major problem is when they ban 
the IPs due to spam. They do this because a spammer has lots of domains pointing to the same IP. It's easier to ban 1 IP 
instead of 50 individual domains...
