VeriSign Shutting Down Site Finder

Posted by timothy on Saturday October 4, 2003 @06:49AM from the but-guys-what's-the-big-deal dept.

00420 writes "VeriSign, the administrator of the .com and .net domains, made plans to shut down its new Site Finder service Friday, after the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ordered the company to undo controversial changes. Of course they're not taking it down because it affected the internet, they're just doing it to keep good relations with the technical community. (Seems a little late for that doesn't it?)" The shutdown is not complete yet, though: VeriSign hasn't changed their wildcard DNS entry (64.94.110.11).

No. And frankly I didn't really care and didn't understand why so many geeks got their panties in a bind over it.
