    When you click on DNS-and-BIND (submitter of this story) you link to this web site. It looks fake, particularly the page about their spokeswoman. But you can google and find recipes with their product mentioned. If the company is real, some industrious /.er should make a new page, and sell it to them. It would be an offer they couldn't refuse.
