Removal of wildcard A records from .com and .net zones

Fri Oct 3 21:50:02 UTC 2003

VeriSign was directed by ICANN to suspend the Site Finder service by
0100 UTC on Sunday, October 5.  We requested an extension from ICANN
to give more notice to the community but were denied.  We will be
removing the wildcard A records from the .com and .net zones beginning
at 2300 UTC on Saturday, October 4.  The former behavior for these
zones (returning Name Error/RCODE=3 in response to queries for
nonexistent domain names) will be in place by 0100 UTC on Sunday,
October.
