Do we have any idea how many systems still use search lists? We've been saying bad things about them at least since .CS was added in 1991. >In such a configuration, if the host name "foo" matches the candidate TLD >"foo", and the latter is changed from NXDOMAIN ... It seems to me that the risk depends a lot more on what the name is rather than the particular DNS response. If it's OEMDMCEKCSN. I doubt anyone will notice, but if it's MAIL., watch out.
