Default Best way to block Verisign SiteSearch wild card?
What's the best way of getting rid of this Verisign sitefinder wildcard they put in the .com DNS server. I've been thinking maybe a outbound packet filter, or perhaps a static route that goes nowhere. Ideas?

I've probably missed the thread that covers this, but, why do you want to do this? What are you trying to stop from happening? I've seen a couple threads about this. I need to be educated on this one.

Thanks

Basically it's a widcard in the .com DNS record that says anything that doesn't match send to this IP. Other than being annoying it can break a number of things. One of the things that comes to mind is Anti-spam systems that check to see if the domains is valid.
