Well, that prevents router-based solutions from solving this, although someone could put the IP in a real blacklist. Hmm. Might be worth contacting Steve Atkins and see what he thinks.. Bill has found a bug in the beta and, thanks to VeriSign, a trivially testable one. While it is immediately useful for these purposes to have it fixed, it may well be the case that VeriSign will change this behavior of the TLD. I assume it would be good in general to fix it, but I thought it might be a good idea to see if anyone saw a reason not to do so before requesting Stalker's time. -- Michael Croft http://www.whiterose.org/michael SAM: It's 106 miles to the Crack of Doom.
