[wildcard-comments] VeriSign's Deployment of DNS Wildcard
VeriSign's deployment of DNS Wildcard is not only unnecessary it’s a
hindrance to the domain naming system as a whole. A domain name that
does not resolve should do just that, not resolve. That’s the way it’s always
been and that’s the way it should stay.
We have heard many comments from “confused” users about this service.
Many people think a domain name is taken just because a site appears,
when in fact it’s an available domain name. There is no valid reason for this
Wildcard system.
Like others, we sometimes comment out a zone of slow pay/no pay user to
get their attention. These domains should not display any web page at all.
VeriSign's responsibility is stepped far beyond in this case.
Over the past three years we have seen the number of errors on our own
DNS servers increase by several hundred percent while trying to resolve
host names. This tells us that there is a great deal of equipment out there
that is not configured correctly. Please, let’s not complicate the system
further with this new un-needed twist.
