heh, this could always be an option :-P ip route 64.94.110.11 255.255.255.255 null0

*Please* don't do that.

That doesn't get rid of the bogus A record; it just turns an attempt to connect to Verisign into a looong wait while the connection times out.

Exactly.... and think of all the mis-addressed mail stuck in the outgoing mail queue that won't even report a temporary failure for hours, let alone bounce in a timely fashion... Hopefully not too many have resorted to the knee-jerk reaction of blackholing the ip address, although I have to wonder from the various mailing lists I read.... :/ Regards, Simon
