I understand the problem.

Shame.
Just giving it access only the domain it came from would suit me.

esp. if that meant *.domainIcamefrom.com

I can just about see http://haxor.aol.com atacking dialup123.aol.com
in that scenario but go-on. I won't tell anyone it was you.

you could always say "evil crackers attack vitanuova and steal very useful
inferno plugIn for IE" should get you on /. and that usually gets a few
converts ;)
