Did I get this right: someone from China/Australia without DNS changes
to OpenNIC would look for http://www.opennic.glue and would get
redirected to 180.168.41.175/202.146.209.2 respectively to the (strange)
appropriate sites? This wouldn't evoke the best idea of OpenNIC
generally to some not-that-adept people.

I guess this could also be a http://internetsupervision.com/ website's
problem. Are there other sites to see if the same happens there?

Regards sjeap
