I agree with Brian, the requirement must include an analysis. Keep in
mind that doesn't mean there will necessarily be any impact, but it must
be addressed.

Actually this gets more to the point that I think Brian was after, the
solution must include an analysis of its effects on the entire existing
system. This would catch DNS, but also any interaction with the current
interdomain routing environment.
