If the problem is that that record leaked into large eyeball caches with
a bad value, then that won't help; in such a case the requester could be
assumed to *be* the person who is the SOA, a point on which I grant you
the OP was pretty content free.

I've had this happen myself a couple times; it's pretty hard to recover 
from in a reasonable fashion.

Cheers,
