Verisign's SiteFinder - An Engineer's View

Posted by simoniker on from the find-this dept.

ixs writes "CircleID has an interesting article by David Monosov about Verisign's plans to reintroduce Sitefinder. The article presents the thesis that the Internet engineering community is partly to blame for Verisign's ability to mess with the .com and .net root zones. According to the author we spend too much time with our systems and not enough with politics. The writeup was previously posted to NANOG and received a favorable response from Paul Vixie."

    Oh, I see, it's CSPAN I should be watching, not CPAN. Obviously a typo...

    Does CSPAN support regexes?
