I think Dan was against this sort of functionality. I think he referred to some 
netgear routers that autoconnected to some hosts on startup or something. A 
sort of unintentional DoS. Search the archives.
Some at least slightly more likely URLs then google, yahoo and hotmail are 
"http://www.canonical.com/nmtest"; for ubuntu and "www.redhat.com/nmtest" for 
fedora etc etc.
