When does it go into affect and what are the repercussions?
The effect is simple. 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20441267 Tue, 06 May 2008 17:16:06 EDT What are the repercussions of this? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20439148 T1 Rocky : When does it go into affect and what are the repercussions?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20439148 Tue, 06 May 2008 10:57:05 EDT Re: ISP using redirection http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20439073 anon :

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?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20439073 Tue, 06 May 2008 10:41:44 EDT ISP using redirection http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20438857 Matt : I really don't have a problem with an ISP performing DNS redirection, but Verisign has absolutely no business doing it.
