I haven't been following things here for a while, so sorry if this has already been noticed. If not, here's a case of judicial interference with the DNS, coupled with incompetent 'solutions'. This is highly relevant to the ncsg constituency as many non-commercial users live with dynamic IP addresses, using services such as no-ip to have stable names in the DNS. Of course, our terms of membership can be read to exclude these users - but note that there's nothing to prevent a similar action being taken against direct holders of domain names... Here's the story: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/07/01/sorry_chaps_microsoft_unborks_legitimate_noip_users_domains/ The comments provide more detail - which for technical readers is tragic. -- Timothe Litt ACM Distinguished Engineer -------------------------- This communication may not represent the ACM or my employer's views, if any, on the matters discussed.
