/me's jaw drops to the floor.

I don't believe that.. "our network"

I don't believe the way they are handling this whole thing! The spin they are putting on this..

The DNS gives authoritative answers to queries. Thats what it does. This is _not_ how its used. Sure, this is a nice service for the end user.. But the end user it roped into it, and it breaks internet standards in the process. This type of service belongs in the browser or elsewhere. Not at the heart of the DNS system. ISPs could do this for their customers if their customers would tolerate it. Sure, whatever. But they cannot be allow to do this for the entire Internet.

There will likely be more lawsuits very soon. Lots of people are still in shock I think. There are a number of entities which are likely to come out stomping on VeriSign.
