Oh, come off it. There are reasons to make changes to networks other than security. It's a genuine, non-corrupt reasonable demand that you should be able to have your own language in DNS. They've been wringing their hands about security for a few years now, around this very issue. Not saying they've gotten everything right, but I can't imagine the real testing work being done by the actual implementers (OS vendors) without the domains being officialized like this. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
