Having had the IAB itself warn against this and been ignored, I am cynical as to what can be done. Patches sound a good plan. Isn't a nasty hack, by nature, more 'Evil' than using wildcards for unknown 2ld's in .com? At least Verisign are keeping the DNS consistant, even it is for their commercial benefit. How many people here use wildcard entries for their domains. If whoever has a.geek.nz was selling domains under this suffix, would having a wildcard make them Evil, or simply excercising their rights as the owner of this domain?
It's just another nail in the ARPANET coffin, isn't it?
