Yeah, no idea why its in aliased to .ca The MSN admin guy who replied to me was from China, so go figure. It sounds like search.msn.co.nz isn't being used by MSN any longer, and they can't figure out why users are ending up there.
The different hands of the Evil Empire work in their own independent mysterious ways... To be honest, Microsoft needs to hire some DNS-knowledgeable admins PDQ. I mean, look at this: Mar 10 17:26:10 vim2 named[28646]: client 207.46.245.12#42335: query (cache) denied Mar 10 17:26:11 vim2 last message repeated 2 times Mar 10 18:05:41 vim2 named[28646]: client 207.46.245.12#42335: query (cache) denied Mar 10 18:05:42 vim2 last message repeated 2 times Mar 10 18:45:16 vim2 named[28646]: client 207.46.245.10#14331: query (cache) denied Mar 10 18:45:16 vim2 last message repeated 2 times Mar 10 19:24:43 vim2 named[28646]: client 207.46.245.10#14331: query (cache) denied Mar 10 19:24:43 vim2 last message repeated 2 times Mar 10 20:04:08 vim2 named[28646]: client 207.46.245.12#42335: query (cache) denied Mar 10 20:04:08 vim2 last message repeated 2 times Mar 10 20:43:30 vim2 named[28646]: client 207.46.245.10#14331: query (cache) denied Mar 10 20:43:30 vim2 last message repeated 2 times Mar 10 21:22:54 vim2 named[28646]: client 207.46.245.10#14331: query (cache) denied Mar 10 21:22:54 vim2 last message repeated 2 times Etc, ad nauseam. I suspect it's because my son's running Windows Messenger. Why Microsoft feels it should query my poor little server incessantly like that is beyond me though. Have complained about it before, but there's nobody at Redmond who even vaguely understands why banging away at others servers is a bad thing :-\ So into the router deny ACL they go -- again. -- Juha
