He is creating thousands of unique subdomains, so nobody can cache anything.

username subdomains are a very popular feature with many websites, especially older ones. users like it too. there is nothing abusive about it. He cant scrap several years worth of links and throw everyone at www.example.com/username

And? Someone asked why the DNS wasn't caching and I explained.

Why can't this be handled with DNS wildcards? Surely they would allow caching on the nearest server.
