How about rewriting all DNS responses to your liking? :-) Like if you ask for www.register.com, you would get the A record for www.verisign.com ?
done. #fh:i386# ping -c 1 www.register.com PING www.register.com (216.21.229.101): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 216.21.229.101: icmp_seq=0 ttl=234 time=79.703 ms --- www.register.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 79.703/79.703/79.703/0.000 ms #fh:i386# echo 65.205.249.60 www.register.com >>/etc/hosts #fh:i386# ping -c 1 www.register.com PING www.register.com (65.205.249.60): 56 data bytes ^C --- www.register.com ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss next? the point i'm illustrating is, as an end user, i'm in charge of my own name->address translations.
Responses for the highest bidder!
that would be an interesting form of symbol democracy, if it scaled to all end users. instead we have a relatively nondemocratic namespace.
