well, the difference between the two is *where* the redirection occurs:

1) VeriSign does the redirection at the DNS level which affects not only browsing but also spam filters and any other service that relies upon DNS to report whether a domain exists or not. Thus, each and every one of these services has to be rewritten to take the VeriSign redirection into account

2) MSIE does the redirection internally in IE when IE gets a domain doesn't exist response, thus there's no impact on anything else than the person using IE
