I guess I should have put some :-)'s into my earlier post on this thread. Anyone using MSIE already has sitefinder-like functionality. And there are adware companies who offer plugins for MSIE, Safari/Konquerer, Netscape/Mozilla, and probably other browsers as well, to map "no such url" to an adware/search site. Therefore anyone who wants to opt into this can already do so. Therefore the likelihood of an ISP offering this on an "opt in" basis is low. I apologize for having to explain that I was joking. I'll try to do better. -- Paul Vixie
