A wildcard A record in the net TLD.It's Verisign's return shot at the web browser "couldn't find this page" searches. Doesn't seem to have much by way of advertising yet, but I'm sure that'll change. I heard about this coming from somewhere last week, though I don't recall where. Probably Wired or the WSJ. Verisign wants the revenue that all those typos are generating. It's just the next shot in the eyeball war.
This is sufficiently technically and business slimy that I would null-route that IP, personally. -george william herbert gherbert () retro com
