Hi Guys
Thanks for the info, I passed it onto the MSN people offshore. Do you have any more information about how this error appears - are your customers clicking something in their browser, or linking off another website or something?
I can't seem to get the error here on my PC (but I'm running IE6)
$ dig search.msn.co.nz. a ;; ANSWER SECTION: search.msn.co.nz. 3600 IN CNAME search.msn.ca. search.msn.ca. 3600 IN A 207.68.185.57 search.msn.ca. 3600 IN A 207.68.176.254 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
