I'm toying with the idea of adding a null route to 12.158.80.10
(sitefinder.verisign.com). I think that would give a different error ("no
route to host" or some such) than a typo would ("host not found" or some
such). Problem 1, would that work? and problem 2, how would I do that?
The first guess for the method would be to add it using a "route" command
in rc.local . But would that route stay if I brought interfaces down and
up?
My second guess is to trawl /etc for the word "route" and see where that
leads. Ideas?
