What I meant was that you can not put any trust in the contents of DNS labels, they should be handled as opaque blob-like identifiers. The only meaningful thing you can do with domain name is to compare it's labels to some reference. So no, I don't trust that I'm on HN because of I put any trust in the domain "news.ycombinator.com" signifying anything. I only trust that I'm on same HN that I was on yesterday because the domain matches exactly the reference value. But the domain name could be anything, as long as it is stable. |
