This point just became moot. Versign is selling the registry business. Network Solutions is being spun off. They retain the back end DNS.
They're selling the _registrar_ business off. They retain the _registry_ and the associated stuff to the back end DNS. One might well suppose that VeriSign is somewhat keen to be permitted to run Sitefinder as, when you come down to it, its a tidy little money spinner for impressively little effort to point traffic to it. Particularly if the money coming in from the registrar side is drying up.
