ICANN ALAC speaks out about sitefinder
Topic: Technology 12:25 pm EDT, Sep 19, 2003

] The At-Large Advisory Committee would like to bring to ICANN's attention concerns about Verisign's surprising roll-out of the "SiteFinder" service for .com and .net.
]
] This practice raises grave technical concerns, as it de facto removes error diagnostics from the DNS protocol, and replaces them by an error handling method that is tailored for HTTP,
] which is just one of the many Internet protocols that make use of the DNS. We will leave it for others to explain the details of these concerns, but note that returning resource records in a
] way which is countrary to the very design of the DNS certainly does not promote the stability of the Internet.
