Indeed, offshore resolvers, offshore DNS infrastructure and the progressive's futile attempts at interference with free markets is once again thwarted. We all know that U.S. law helps keep the internet safe </sarcasm>
When I ran a bunch of quake servers last century, I was endlessly frustrated by everyone using the IP addresses and never DNS. I have no idea why. Obviously it wasnt too much of a pain to do that, cuz eveyrone did it for a long time. So people will just use other resolvers, or direct IP addresses. (but then so much for http/1.0 virtual hosting, I suppose... not a big deal.) Dont know what the next law will be - mandatory blackholing of IPs? So then the sites move randomly around /24s or /22s or whole /16s at ISPs. So then blackhole the whole /16 by law? That'll be an interesting internet. /kc -- Ken Chase - ken@heavycomputing.ca - +1 416 897 6284 - Toronto CANADA Heavy Computing - Clued bandwidth, colocation and managed linux VPS @151 Front St. W.
