Earthlink playing Sitefinder
FYI: I see discussion on DSLReports that Earthlink is deploying a Sitefinder-ish DNS scheme. It bounces people to a "barefruit.com" that then sprays ads back at you. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433

Doesn't surprise me that Earthlink has been bought off yet again to break dns for their users. If you remember it happened before when they were bought off by New.net and was (still is?) largest ISP not using ICANN-maintained dns root. -- William Leibzon Elan Networks william@elan.net
