Charity in the Wake of the Tsunami

Revised Jan 4th, 2005 by Heather
the problem I reported Dec 29th with Domain Routing for Doctors Without Borders has apparently been fixed!

Its very troubling to see that Network Solutions has somehow fouled up
the DNS routing for the Doctors Without Borders website. if you TRY to go to http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org you quickly get routed to some Network Associates Search page that offers other charities to give funds to! Of course, folks get listed on the NetAss Search engine page by paying placement fees, but I’d call it outrageous to see this kind of situation where one charity turns up when you tried to go to another.

Someone needs to help Doctors Without Borders out – and you folks have more combined clout that a casual and humble HTML coder like me …

Here is the URL I got when I tried to go to the http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org address  
http://apps5.oingo.com/apps/domainpark/domainpark.cgi?client=netw8744&s=www.doctorswithoutborders.org

Thats just plain evil

When I do a Domain Lookup on Doctors without borders dot org, I get the legitimate owners of the domain!
