Re: DNS better be flawless...

said by k1ll3rdr4g0n:

This is very bad practice. Here is why:
Many servers serve many domain names. Which, the web server could care less about 12.34.56.78, the webserver reads the hostname that gets sent in the HTTP request (RFC 2616). So, if you goto »12.34.56.78 you will probably get a 404 or "under construction" page. Although, it appears you don't run into that problem, it is bad practice regardless.

By saying that the reason why you navigate straight to the IP because you don't trust your ISPs DNS server's, is a fallacious statement. If you were really that concerned, then you should setup your own recursive DNS server on your local network. A recursive DNS server should never touch your ISP's, unless your ISP is hijacking DNS requests. DNS plays a bigger role in the internet than just resolving A records.
bingo my host is like this, if you go to the ip associated with my website all youl find is

"error id: "bad_httpd_conf""
