Wouldn't it be just as easy to pay GoDaddy $9 per year and do a redirect yourself instead of relying on a verisign that half the knowledgable network ops community has filtered/blackholed? Eric

For example, verisign is returning A records (and subsequently earning revenue from that traffic) for say: COKE-SOFT-DRINK.COM TIDE-DETERGENT.COM etc..From another perspective, it could be how Verisignplans on making money off this. If they can redirect to their own Site Finder site, I'm sure they can redirect to other large corporations, who would probably pay for that kind of service. Buy this service, user types www.coke-soft-drink.com, and gets redirected automatically to www.coke.com. Corporations now have a much broader reach then yesterday. They'd make a deal on the trademark thing, if there is one. Kenny __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Shopping - with improved product search http://shopping.yahoo.com
