Too right - if it's good enough for VeriSign, it's good enough for me !!!

Thanks for the suggestion, I'd already tried it but it doesn't work as
intended :-(

When going to http://www.verisignsuck.com/ I'm redirected to:

http://sitefinder.verisign.com/lpc?url=www.verisignsuck.com&host=www.verisignsuck.com

What I wanted to do was pass the original URL
(http://www.verisignsuck.com/) to my PHP script, but the initial VeriSign
redirection takes place and then that gets passed to the PHP script.

I think I'll just do a bit of coding in PHP to extract the domain from the
redirected request. It would be nice for my users to never have to hit
VeriSign's server so they don't get to see my users' typos !!!
