Good punt. But you're returning data owned elsewhere (like someone else's A record). If you are responsible for returning accurate data to a public audience, and it's not your data to alter, then you are liable for the consequences. If you want to run a different .COM in private (i.e. no public audience and no consequences), go right ahead.

Why doesn't new.net start sending me monthly paychecks? Since they're *all* about money, then if I am going to help them get their business off the ground, then where's mine?

Go ask them. (626) 229-7800. Best Regards, Simon Higgs -- It's a feature not a bug...
