Hi, Based on the procedures they document to opt-out, doesn't look like Sitefinder-like authoritative wildcarding. Looks more like caching server NXDOMAIN rewriting. If so, easy to get around: just run your own caching server. Also means you can't defeat this using DNSSEC (if it was actually deployed). Regards, -drc On Nov 3, 2007, at 8:40 PM, David Lesher wrote:

Subscribers to Verizon's high-powered fiber-optic Internet service (FiOS) are reporting that when they mistype a Web site address, they get redirected to Verizon's own search engine page -- even if they don't have Verizon's search page set as their default.
