Impact is major.

Does Earthlink realise the impact of their change? COMPLETELY forget about the HTTP/Web aspect here...

Think about SMTP. Think about spam. Think about spam *filters*.

Think about DNS. Think about diagnostics. Think about troubleshooting. Think about NXDOMAIN.

*sigh* Just like with VeriSign, this is going to break spam filters and diagnostics for *tons* of stuff. Earthlink, reconsider. If you want to do this with HTTP traffic by monitoring Host: headers or something utterly bizarre, fine (I still won't use your service) -- LEAVE DNS ALONE.
