Re: Is the .to (Tonga) domain completely rogue and should be removed?

Apparently it's been changed in the past 24 hours, probably as a
result of this discussion.

I'm sure others here checked it out and found what I found, ads for a
software company, you're the first one to report otherwise (and yes
right now it does seem to suddenly say something about Tonga.)

I smell something fishy going on here.

The server with the tongan consulate net address appears to be a web

far as I can tell.

Is it located at the Tongan consulate?

I just looked at http://sfconsulate.gov.to/ and it is clearly about the
Kingdom.  I'm not sure what you saw.

My info about that server is old, it appears instead of being at the end of
a 56k line at the consulate, it is now at one of Best's colo facilities.

The primary nameserver for TO, tonic.to, is still at the consulate.
