DNS modification?

Post by wils »

Hi All,

Would be grateful if anyone could help.

The scenario is this:
A user on his/her web browser typed an url, browser send url to DNS to check and found it to be invalid, and the web browser display a error page to the user.

Instead of the above process flow, is it possible that we could intercept the invalid result from the DNS server, send user typed url as keywords to a search engine, and display the search results to this user?

At the moment we have a javascript which could send keywords to Yahoo, and Yahoo returns a xml file to us and then we customize our own search page.
This is so that we could return it to the user's web browser.

Best Regards,

Wilson
