le seem to think it would be impractical to put the root name
servers in 69.0.0.0/8
Why not persuade ARIN to put whois.arin.net in there instead? It
shouldn't take the people with the broken filters *too* long to figure
out why they can't do IP assignment lookups...

We don't stop our dial customers from getting *to* anything.

We're a fairly big provider on the GRIC (global roaming) network.
That means that it's not feasible for us to prevent many of our POPs' users

You do know they just this morning announced that they're selling the

ell that's very simple Rusty - stop screwing around with *our* DNS and
write a plugin for IE to catch NXDOMAIN, just like the Google toolbar
does.
That'll allow 90% of the browsing population a *choice*, something the
wildcard clearly does not.

According to the press release they plan to keep the registry.

Has it occurred to anyone else that the side effects of Verisign's
wildcard record might have been very much reduced if the wildcard had
only worked if the address being resolved actually started 'www.' ?
Not that I ever want to see Verisign's abomination resurrected, of

ww.whatever.com.
One way or another, Verisign are going to try and find a way to force their
service on us. As far as I can see some of the worst side effects would be
somewhat mitigated if that wildcard worked for www.*.com.

Seeing as this didn't appear to hit NANOG yet -
Our dear friends at Verisign won the "Internet Villain" of the year
award at the UK ISPA awards last night "for their presumption that they
own the internet and the domain name system hijacking scandal".
cheers,
