<nettime> Nameserver Cache Contamination by Alternic is Irresponsible Practice |
To All System Administrators: I recommend that you restart all of your nameservers to clear out their caches... Alternic has cached bogus information on your servers and others, rerouting www.internic.net to www.alternic.net and www.netsol.com to www.alternic.net as well as causing failures to resolve other addresses. I find this practice by Alternic IRRESPONSIBLE as sets a negative example for the independent NameService Providers. Name.Space does not in any way support this IRRESPONSIBLE PRACTICE or any TRAFFIC HIJACKING of any kind. Name.space disclaims any connection whatsoever to "Alternic", "eDNS", or any of their affiliates, nor does name.space endorse any of the policies of the aforementioned entities. Name.space is committed to RESPONSIBLE PRACTICE in providing nameservice in the interests of the international public and in keeping the toplevel namespace in the public domain. regards, Paul Garrin name.space http://namespace.xs2.net see related articles: http://namespace.xs2.net/media --- # distributed via nettime-l : no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a closed moderated mailinglist for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@icf.de and "info nettime" in the msg body # URL: http://www.desk.nl/~nettime/ contact: nettime-owner@icf.de
