Another difference compared to Site Finder is that while Site Finder only added wildcards to the zones of certain top-level domains, "web error redirection" as described in the draft effectively behaves as if a wildcard had been added to every single zone in the DNS, not just every TLD but also the root zone and every zone delegated from the TLDs, including your own zones. This is indeed not just Site Finder all over again - it's far worse, and breaks far more applications than Site Finder did. -- Andreas Gustafsson, g...@araneus.fi _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
