Google Proposes DNS Extension
ElusiveJoe writes "Google, along with a group of DNS and content providers, hopes to alter the DNS protocol. Currently, a DNS request can be sent to a recursive DNS server, which would send out requests to other DNS servers from its own IP address, thus acting somewhat similar to a proxy server. The proposed modification would allow authoritative nameservers to expose your IP address (instead of an address of your ISP's DNS server, for example) in order to 'load balance traffic and send users to a nearby server.' Or it would allow any interested party to look at your DNS requests. Or it would send a user from Iran or Libya to a 'domain name doesn't exist' server."
its ok they hate Micro$oft more (yes thats a dollar sign in there :D)
Doesn't that theoretically nail you down to somewhere within 252 ish machines? (Assuming IPv4).
The first 3 octets seem like they could be enough to personally identify you based on your DNS Search records.
That's a good point. And if the first three octets aren't enough then the next DNS request, coming from your own IP address, should do the trick.
If you don't trust the website then why are you trying to connect to it?

I went to eat some animal crackers and the box said, "Do not eat if seal is broken." I opened the box and sure enough..
