hurrah :( cause obviously everything in the world using dns is a browser?
:( As a note, some other folks do this as well:

www.paxfire.com
nominum perhaps as well?

:( Seems really, really dumb to me, since everything is NOT (surprised?) a
web browser :( I wonder what happens when it tries to correct my enum
dns requests? Be cautious that some largish provider's dns cache's might
be doing this as well 'soon' despite engineering folks saying 'gosh that
seems like a very poor plan...' :(

'fun'!
