There's no place like 127.0.0.1

So, the MySpace DNS admins seriously point one address of the round-robin record for myspace.com to localhost. Smart move.

$ host -vv myspace.com
Trying "myspace.com"

myspace.com.            8282    IN      A       216.178.32.51
...

While 127.0.0.1 is most certainly "my space", I don't think many people host a copy of MySpace on their workstation...

Wonder how many people have to blog it until they fix it ;) In any case, Thinkgeek already has the right t-shirt for them.
