Folks, My understanding of the way that this is done is by returning a CNAME when the ISP's DNS recursive DNS server would otherwise return a NXDOMAIN result, followed by a HTTP 302 when the browser attempts to reach the host via the bogus CNAME. My question is would running my own internal recursive DNS resolver be sufficient to stop this from happening? (I run my own DNS server anyway, but I'm curious to see whether it would be sufficient to bypass the search page redirection stupidity.) Thanks for any insights. --Paul
