Well, the Chinese are not back (see previous post about China). The Great FireWall of China seemed to notice our change of IP address rather quickly. That got us thinking about how they make it work. Do they block the domain name in DNS? Do they reload the DNS names all the time and block other IPs that the DNS resolves to? If so, does that mean if we changed our DNS to resolve to the same IPs as, say cn.yahoo.com that the chinese yahoo site would get blocked by China? And if so, what would happen if we (or any site that was censored) resolved to the private IPs of WalMart's corporate offices? Could then no one in China communicate with WalMart?
Anyone in China that could shed some light on this? Well, since no one in China (except for those in Hong Kong) can read this, I guess the proper question is: does anyone know someone in China that they can ask?
