Just as Canter and Siegel's green card spam was a novel way to (ab)use SMTP for Canter and Siegel's profit, ten years later Verisign develops Sitefinder [1] - a novel way to (ab)use DNS requests for Verisign's profit. ...
while i won't fault your analogy on structural grounds, i challenge it on factual grounds. the c&s green card imbroglio came from nntp, not smtp.
I believe that there is no good "operational" way to solve either problem.
and yet, the place to discuss non-operational solutions is not nanog@. i suspect that you will find plenty of places to make your proposals, wherein many other people will also make their own proposals, with nobody reading anybody else's proposals. sort of like here, except politics not operations. -------- wb8foz () nrk com (David Lesher) writes:
... Thus, SiteFinder was an unfunded mandate on us.
while i think that's a true statement i don't think it goes far enough. in the washpost article the other day some looney fringe technical zealot said: "This is a form of theft by most legal definitions, if you're going to shift costs unilaterally toward another group of people to increase your own profits. It's certainly unethical and immoral and it would be illegal if you were to do it with physical goods." -- Paul Vixie
