kudos:2 | This is going WAY too far. I usually dont voice my opinions about the actions of companies, but this one has me truly in a rage. Verisign is clearly abusing their powers as root dns, and very clearly we the community need to do something to stop them.
Please, any dns server admins, BLOCK OUT THEIR IP.
This amazingly blatant action that verisign has taken is just beyond anything I have ever seen a company do.
I, for one, will be protesting this to the full extent of my ability. FORTUNATELY I run my own DNS server, so can handle this better than some users who are forced to use their schools or ISP's.
Please Verisign, stop this nonsense

Santa Cruz, CA | how would a DNS server 'block an IP' ??
you would have to hack the source code to your DNS server to ignore wildcard lookups, or to treat any IP that returns that specific IP as a 'invalid'.
you could block that IP via a firewall or router filter rule, I suppose. thats not quite the same thing (you'd get a valid IP back from a query, but then get a 'site not reachable' type error. | |
