I suspect you mean this testing to be done with 'pure' IP numbers for all
addresses, since we still have no sensinble progress report on resolver.

Then everyone who wants to do this should start saving their DOMAIN.TXT
files (renamed) into a backup folder, because they will be erased
occasionally by STiK (size limit?), and you'll need those numbers.
