Re: Our Response to Redirect Service Concerns It is technically impossible for this behavior to occur without the involvement of some level of DPI or Layer 7 inspection technology. This cannot be NXDOMAIN redirection as this is DNS agnostic; the Firefox browser submits data via HTTP/1.1 GET to 'www.google.com'.
For this to have been NXDOMAIN it would have targeted Google universally.
Now, to dissect your statement, as it seems to be intentionally worded vaguely:
"* track or monitor any individual customer internet searches;"
How about on an aggregate level, which would be consistent to the redirection behavior reported here. On an aggregate level, are you tracking search terms used?
The Windstream landing page, 'searchdirect.windstream.net' has an awfully suspicious naming convention and behavior for us NOT to think it's an issue. |
