RE: [ActiveDir] Verisign/Site Finder and DDNS

Title: Message

Lots of discussion about this over in Full Disclosure list.  Seems that the problem is related to (as far as I've been following it... it's gotten a bit inane) the fact that A records are being favored over MX on the resolution - which is causing mail to be sent to a host that MAY not be able to take care of it.   However, I might have been so bored over the 'bitch and moan' of F-D (the last time I looked at Verisign type posts, the discussion was over how could they SPAM Verisign and SiteFinder....  *sigh*) that this wasn't really the case, but seemed quite a bit more interesting than fact.   <shrug>   Rick Kingslan  MCSE, MCSA, MCT Microsoft MVP - Active Directory Associate Expert Expert Zone - www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Myrick, Todd (NIH/CIT) Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2003 10:21 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] Verisign/Site Finder and DDNS Our network team made us aware of this change made by verisign that seems to cause problems with SMTP.  Is anyone here having problems with their DDNS configurations due to the change.  Does anyone know if someone is working on a patch for MS DDNS.  http://www.verisign.com/resources/gd/sitefinder/implementation.pdf http://www.circleid.com/article/260_0_1_0_C/ ISC is patching BIND to block the move: http://www.computerworld.com/developmenttopics/websitemgmt/story/0,10801,85059,00.html Thanks, Todd Myrick
