Scratch that... Yes, the A record. You are right.
I need coffee or something... :-)

Not the A, the PTR... But yes, that could be a nasty retaliation by
spammers with control of their DNS. I would hope, however, that the
"screen saver's" target would be an IP address instead of a FQ mnemonic
hostname.
From the article, I understand that Lycos will be manually watching the
list of targets and pushing updates to the users. Although I have
traditionally been in favor of low bandwidth "fixes", this kind of
appeals to my sense of poetic justice.

...
What about the case where the spammer gets black listed, traffic starts
pounding the rouge site and then the spammer changes the A record to be
www.example.com instead. Now all of a sudden www.example.com is being
pounded by all those screen savers.
