Re: Who Cares? Don't think in just web browser terms. If it were just port 80 browser request that were seeing these false positives for non-existent domains, I wouldn't really care.
It matters because it severely screws with email systems. Now, instead of email bouncing because there is no destination domain, or spam checks working because domains don't exist, email servers are led to believe through these 'false positives' that domains exists, and then accept the emails and fill up trying to send them out. Spam filters and lists now have an even worse time of things because EVERY DNS domain request returns a result when they shouldn't.
