Re: Who Cares? said by Skippy25:However, you on the other hand can't just come here and say it is broke because it is not. Not getting a DNS error is not broken. I personally think it is an enhancement to DNS and improves MOST customers experience. Actually, exactly because you are NOT getting an error is THE reason it breaks DNS. DNS depends on a clearly specified standard set of requests and responses. When a zone or record does not exist, there is a proscribed response that is suppose to be given (NXDOMAIN, etc.). Whole slews of applications depend on these rules and specs being followed.
Beyond what the inconvenience that Claco pointed out give a valid reason as to why it is "broke". See above. It breaks DNS, whether you know/admin it or not. Trust me, this comes from someone has the professional pleasure of dealing with DNS daily.
And if you don't believe me, ask another system or network administrator worth their salt and they will give you similar reasons.
