Um, I really don't think you can make a blanket statement like that with regards to DNS. Sure some DNS topics are off topic - eg "how do i configure my BIND" but others are on topic such as "this domain / series of domains are not resolving correctly for xxx isp/everyone, please confirm / pass on message to yyy to investigate/resolve"

I have semi-regularly struggled with troubleshooting email delivery
problems (for example), due to an inability to see what ISP X sees as my
MX record.

Onceuponatime I could just query their DNS servers myself. Now it seems
I either have to hope that their helpdesk understand what an MX record
actually is, or try to find a shell account on a machine within their
network to tinker with...

I didn't realise that DNS was something that was a candidate for a
network of 'looking-glass' systems, but perhaps it is... Need a nice,
rate-limited, hard-to-abuse web-based DNS lookup tool to become commonly
available, perhaps?

Cheers
Mark.
