Basically right. The attacker forces a cache miss by using a bogus subdomain.example.com that is guaranteed not to exist in the ISP's DNS cache, and then tries to get his own response in before the real response comes in. If he succeeds, the the ISP will cache his spoofed packets as real, and his packets will include new NS1.example.com server IP info, causing the ISP to automatically go to his servers for any future request for example.com. He puts a TTL field with a super-long expiration date and voila! The cache doesn't expire and the ISP won't be asking for new DNS updates for that domain.
The story here for people that are missing it: This is evidence of a private account to circumvent Alaska's record retention laws. This is exactly like what was done in the White House to hide evidence of political firings in the justice dept. This is something like her 8th well publicized crime/bending of the law/lie, amusingly enough, not the first one tied to misdeeds of the kind that got so many thrown out of congress just two short years ago. . No one will care anyway. There is a quiet and unspoken truth to Republican success. America is a-ok with being criminally complicit, as long as they see a profit. We are happily being run by the mafia. Have fun with President Palin.
...and this comment wins the thread. *hands you an internet*
I believe you can get more up-to-date information by purchasing Google Earth Plus or Google Earth Pro. Not positive though and the comparison page doesn't seem to specify.
...in retrospect, this comment is not nearly as helpful as I'd hoped.
Just because there are some isolated incidents of police in a Free Society using excessive force does not automatically turn that Free Society into a Police State. All it means is that some people are assholes, even when those people are cops.
It also means that systems of Government created by humans are, by nature, as imperfect as the people in them. Thus there will always be corruption, and always be asshole cops who get too rough. But this is why we have high standards and the Rule of Law, so that the system, via The People, can self-correct.
Personally, I simply see people using cameras to expose corrupt officials as the natural self-correcting nature of Western Democratic Society becoming more efficient through the use of technology created BY that society. It's a good thing, and to be applauded.
True Confessions Time: I'm in the application process to join the highway patrol in my region and I agree completely with what you are saying. I have not checked what the local laws say about it yet but personally I would have no problem being recorded by a citizen I pulled over. Cops should have to come to grips with the idea of living in a 'fishbowl', at least while on duty.
Yeah, you'd think huh? But if their decisions are challenged, they escalate to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, and then the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Man, Marian Bantjes absolutely won that little penmanship-contest-that-wasn't, no? Amazing to have three different kinds of awesome penmanship. I can barely manage one.

There, fixed that for yez.
If you're calling an imperfect alternative to insanity "fixed"...
...why, you must be a Windows 7 developer. ;)

Okay, that was the first one of those I actually laughed at. :D
...Can I give you $30,000 to skip the hour with Cruise?? *sweat*

...and is that name attached to an actual human being?
Because if I were the spammer, I sure as heck wouldn't be using my real name to get the job done.
Whoa! We've only had 17 presidents?...
Yeeaahhh, you let me know how that works out for you.

Wow, that was explained SO MUCH BETTER!!1! :D
Aw man, that was hilarious.
...and if you really believe that, why post it as Anonymous Coward? ;-)
