What a shocker!  I can't believe Verisign would stoop so low... how long
before there is a link to Network Solutions to register the domain?

And I bet nine(msn) will be upset to see a chunk of their traffic disappear
from the built in IE redirect!

I apologise for bringing up a gTLD issue on the .au DNS list.

Verisign (the registry for gTLDs .com and .net) has recently added:
	*.com	15M	A	64.94.110.11
	*.net	15M	A	64.94.110.11
to the .com and .net zone files.

This means any unregistered domains in .com and .net will now point
to a Verisign web site (currently a Verisign search portal).
