That doesn't make sense. When .corp fails to resolve now, .corp.com is also a deadend because O'Connor turned the domain off, so nothing should happen to any software by not trying to access .corp.com.
Surely a rule can be made in the resolver code that specifically in the case of .corp failing to resolve, short-circuit it there and do not failover to internet domains.
- gpm 7y agoRight, what you're suggesting is one implementation of what I meant by "the moral equivalent of adding these lines to /etc/hosts". I think TimTheTinker was suggesting the much more general fix of breaking the fallback for all domain names, not just .corp domain names.
