Now this is the kind of thing that we need to combat Verisign. http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/tlds/sitefinder/
The data presented here exhaustively shows that Verisign's whole business model is flawed because they don't really control this "diversion" of traffic and ISPs can and will block the diversions at source with DNS patches and routing. This particular paper puts pressure the companies that are paying Verisign for the Sitefinder service. We still need more papers that describe the negative technical impacts of sitefinder and we need those papers to be published somewhere, not just on the NANOG mailing list. At minimum, you should send copies to both ICANN and to the Berkman Center (read the above paper for a URL). --Michael Dillon --------------------------------------------- This service is hosted on the Infocom network http://www.infocom.co.ug
