I expect I would. But this is not "filtering DNS". It's "making a bodge-handed attempt to REPLACE DNS (well, proxy it) for only one application/layer". My problem isn't what they're using it for; it's that they've implemented it so poorly. I live down here in the trenches, John, where "it doesn't work" is the calibre of problem reports I get. When my tools say that "yes, it does", *I'm* the one who takes it in the nads because Mozilla had a Better Fuckin' Idea. That it will likely cause lots of 50,000ft problems to is just a cherry on the top. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
