Precedents for Site Finder

Well, some interesting information here: it seems as though the current Verisign fiasco actually has a precedent! According to NetCraft, Verisign is not the first TLD to think of wild-carding domains. Since NetCraft is the publisher of the definative site survey for th 'Net, it was important for them to be able to filter out spurious results such as those introduced by wild-carding.

They even have a paper up on the topic, listing the IP's to which wild-cards for various TLD's resolve!

Interesting ....
