Verisign breaks require_resolvable_fromhost plugin

[James H. Thompson]

This article explains what Verisign has done for lookups of non-existing host names.

If you are using the:
    require_resolvable_fromhost
plugin, it just stopped working because all host names resolve to an IP whether the 
exist or not.

I made a quick patch so the loop in the plugin now reads:

  if ($query) {
    foreach my $rr ($query->answer) {

      # if this host, its the verisign catch all domain address
      # for non-existing domains
      # see: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/32852.html
      if ($rr->type eq "A" && $rr->address eq "64.94.110.11") {
        print STDERR "Verisign catchall IP for: $host\n";
        return 0;
        }


      return 1 if $rr->type eq "A" or $rr->type eq "MX";
    }
  }
