Like your ISP's systems administrator who (unless he/she updates BIND and
implements the new functionality to limit the damage done by Verisign)
will end up with a DNS server with a bloated cache full of crap.
I've got a much better idea - passive resistence. Everyone just update
their DNS root files to no longer accept Verisign as authoritative for
.com and .net and whatever else they've broken, and we start a new service
much like AlterNIC tried a while ago.(at least now there's some real incentive to make it happen)
Verisign can keep sitefinder... when they don't matter, who cares?
