I think actually.. earthlink uses barefruit? (or they did when ...
kaminsky was off doing his destruction of the dns liars gangs...)
Maybe the same backend is used though for the advertizer side?
(barefruit provides the appliance, some third-party is the
advertiser/website-host... same for paxfire?)


Anyone out there in Earthlink land? I am seeing what looks to be a cache poisoning attack on ns1.mindspring.com.
