They don't restrict users of the DNS servers to Paradise.net customers - 
perhaps they are located in a different 'area' of their network that has 
different accounting? Can non-paradise users access news.paradise? Perhaps 
they can - dunno...

That said, a "simple DNS query" shouldn't use much traffic, even over an 
entire month, so is it really worth getting upset about? They do charge at 
1/10th rate tho, I hope?
