For the first few hours of it's life, that server hosted a Verisign-sponsored search engine, covered with adds, with results higly slanted towards Verisign and it's affiliates. The web server appears to be down, but it's still accepting SMTP connections, with a hardcoded response sequence of 220, 250, 250, 550, 220, <DISCONNECT>. A few other common ports are open with similar token reponses.
Understandably, this has angered quite a few people. In response, ISC has released a new version of Bind that allows administrators to block this response:
http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/delegation-only.html
The basic steps are:
-Upgrade to Bind 9.2.3rc2
-Add the following lines to your named.conf:
zone "com" {
type delegation-only;
};
zone "net" {
type delegation-only;
};
-start the new version of Bind.Enjoy DNS as it was meant to be experienced.
