No. Reverse DNS hasn't been changed. Yet. I don't know if VeriSign has any control over <IN-ADDR.ARPA>. Of course, VeriSign does run the SOA for the root domain, so in one sense, they have control over everything. But "stealing" a delegation explicitly violates their agreement with ICANN, and would likely get even that apathetic organization to respond. It is *forward* lookups which have been affected right now. For example, take your domain name, <hofferpl.com>. Say I mistype that as <www.hofferlp.com> (notice the transposed "L" and "P" in the second-level domain name). That will bring me to VeriSign's website. At least, that's the intent. Many ISPs, especially big ones, have implemented counter-measures, such as null-routing that IP address, filtering it, playing tricks with DNS, etc. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | | not represent the views or policy of any other person or organization. | | All information is provided without warranty of any kind. | _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
