The return of the wildcard domain...

All, I saw this evening that CentralNic had added *.uk.com to point to itself. I thought this was of operational interest considering the effect Verisign sitefinder had. (Sorry Martin, no offence intended) So I guess the question to us all is: how will this affect our networks as a whole? Or will it at all? Or is it already? I tried this with the almost funny domain www.idunno.uk.com It does a redirect to http://www.uk.com/results/idunno?src=idunno And came back with a "The domain name "idunno.uk.com" is available for registration. Would you like to buy it" So will ICANN act on this? CentralNIC also runs the uk.com, us.com, eu.com and de.com domains. For a "news" reference: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/09/14/centralnic_wildcard/ Anyway, I thought I would start a new topic.. Hopefully this does not add too much to the overall S:N...... Later, Jim McBurnett
