I also love how simple it is to bork up a network with that but also farily challenging to block. Realistically you normally want DHCP assigned

addresses to register themselves in your DNS with DDNS but you do NOT want them to overwrite specific DNS entries. I know at least on Windows there is a detailed but somewhat annoying method to block certain records from being overwritten but it is somewhat heavy handed

I'm surprised now that this isn't more common but I guess you have to be kinda malicious to do it (or oblivious which is often just as dangerous)
