Verisign introducing Rapid DNS updates on Sep 8, 2004

Great news.

Thanks

No bad news. Spammer spams, host kills account, spammer moves, downtime... 5 minutes or less.... Not good, they just keep on helping spammers.

Thanks for the news silversurfer, even though I've heard about this before.

Geez they take forever to get stuff implimented.
I posted about this starting to happen back in February:

this is good news... I hate waiting forever for dns to resolve.
Also, what do you mean by it helping spammers... it really wouldn't help that much

The original annoucement was here:

Verisign just playing "catch-up" with the new registries again....

hmm... I'm still a little worried about the spammer side of this issue

I don't se a serious spamming issue. Sure, with this move a banned spammer can easily move his domain to a different IP. But a spammer can do that now with org/biz/info/us and I don't see it being particularly problematic.

For legit businesses, this will mean that when your host goes down, you can immediately decide to move your site and email elsewhere, and it will resolve very quickly.

This is a good thing... 8 hours wasn't too bad, but zero is much better!

Hooray! We are so close!

This will be so nice...

Sept. 8!? That's my birthday!

8 days left :D

That is some great news.

THis is great news for developers! No longer having to tap our fingers and wait lol.

Hmmm....tomorrow?
