There is no such thing as "automatic security." That's an oxymoron. Any system that is "secure" without the ongoing burn of end-user brain cycles is subject to more-or-less easy subversion [a corollary of this is that "masses" will never be in situation to be both (1) end users and (2) secure. One can be a product and secure at the same time without effort, though.] And any system that (in theory) makes DNS foolproof will inevitably exclude any parallel name services. ===== end (of original message) Y-a*h*o-o (yes, they scan for this) spam follows: __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
