Hehe @ssa.gov	reply to Matt Re: ISP using redirection said by Matt : I really don't have a problem with an ISP performing DNS redirection, but Verisign has absolutely no business doing it. There's no way to opt out of Verisign's redirection. DNS redirection is forged/false info. I think this is bad. What next, redirect google.com to mysite.com?

If I have an application that needs to know if a given FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) is valid, this false reply will make ALL FQDNs look valid not just those that ARE valid. Such an application is SMTP (Mail) Servers which check Email Addresses to see if the Domain Name in the address exists. Use of this false existence reply would cripple the SMTP checks.
