Software Aimed at Blocking VeriSign's Search Program (TechNews.com)

Software Aimed at Blocking VeriSign's Search Program (TechNews.com): "VeriSign's service, which affects only '.com' and '.net' names, also overrode similar services offered by several Internet service providers, including America Online, and through Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer browser.

The BIND patch allows AOL and others to restore control by identifying and then ignoring data from Site Finder, said Paul Vixie, president of the Internet Software Consortium.

When the patched software receives such data, it will instead pass along an 'address not found' message."
