Re: [Full-disclosure] Verizon Wireless DNS Tunneling

[Dan Kaminsky <dan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One major reason it sticks around is -- what are you supposed to do, return
bad data until the user is properly logged in?  It might get cached -- and
while operating systems respect TTL, browsers most assuredly do not ("well,
it MIGHT take us somewhere good").

It's not like there's a magic off switch that makes this go away.
