R. David Murray added the comment: I think we should instead have it email the ISP that their DNS is broken :)
Seriously, though, complain to your ISP. My ISP at least provides name servers that don't have this "feature" if you prefer to use them, and they are the default for business accounts. So they are being stupid, but less stupid than the original offender. If you run a local DNS forwarding server, you can configure it to ignore the wildcard records from your upstream. IMO everyone should run a local DNS caching/forwarding server for both this reason and for performance :) If that test is run by default, we could change it to only run with -uall. Then normal users wouldn't see it. Now, all that said, I won't be crushed if the test gets deleted, but I will be very very sad about what that event says about modern ISPs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17564> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
