Block VeriSign's attempt at internet domination
I agree that a sixty second timeout is intolerable. The problem as I see it is that this hint blocks the wrong site with the wrong rule. The Verisign process is a two step process. When you type an incorrect URL, the Verisign DNS server actually returns an IP address, which is that of sitefinder-idn.verisign.com, not the server listed in this hint. When the browser attempts to contact this server, it sends a redirect to the sitefinder.verisign.com server. This is done so that the Verisign address correctly appears in the browser address bar. This is slightly more polite than a one step process which would result in the incorrect URL appearing in the address bar, although the whole thing violates every account that I've read of the DNS rules.
Umm, no.
Here's the complete 'transcript' of my trying to get a non-exitant domain:
I don't see that other domain you mentioned.
It's also interesting to see the cookies these guys try to set on a browser.
Re: Umm, no.
No, there is no extra redirect, but the reverse DNS lookup on 64.94.110.11 returns "sitefinder-idn.verisign.com"
