Not if they make it in a configurable way to let you choose what IP Verisign is redirecting to. Then again, Verisign is a bunch of Dope Smoking Pedophiles [dopesmokin...philes.com], as referenced by this Internet Web site they have registered. Let's not forget they're also a bunch of Clueless DNS whores [cluelessdnswhores.com]. Oh yes, and I heard Verisign supports terrorists at this page: here.. [weloveinte...rorism.com].
Verisign needs to be shut down for these un-American and clearly criminal web sites. Someone notify John Ashcroft, quickly!

Sure, it sounds like another tin-foil hat theory, but can anyone come up with another explaination which makes more sense for the "Lemming Look" of companies searching for the biggest cliff to jump off? (Yeah, I know, lemming suicides are a Disney myth. Too bad SCO and Verisign aren't.)

this is just a trick. They just want to get rid of all those obsolete BIND-versions out in the internet.
So they did this to goat all admins into patching their bind.
Tricky they are...

Interesting that it rejects the first recipient, but accepts the second, then bomb on the DATA stage.
You are thinking too complex for verisign standards
