Barefruit was just for returning a search engine result for a NXDOMAIN response.
ah, paxfire does the same...
It appears Earthlink is now using Paxfire to sniff and proxy a users traffic to at least one popular website. Besides the obvious privacy implications, it introduces a nice captcha on Google.
hrm, they could simply use the appliances to answer: "www.google.com -> jomax.net-ns-answer" which is a frontend simply 30[24]'ing off to the jomax-esque site... Oh, you get the captcha though via earthlink? that sucks :( -chris
