Re: Who Cares? you really ae not listening. DNS does not just resolve names. It also communicates important information to the requesting party if the name does not exist, information that is very specific in what it is supposed to say. When someone arbitrarily changes what that message is, that is, omits it altogether and hijacks you to their site, then the system has broken down, and as has been pointed out, specifically mail servers really really need this specific information in order to operate properly. It's (almost) like if your gas guage suggested you might want to stop at Bk instead of warning you that you were running out of gas. Where would you end up? Mail servers carry an enormous amount of the internet load. You might not care, but a lot of people do. What you are suggesting is that we simply break the system for the dummys, and screw the people who really know what they need to get done. |
