Try:

Word on the North American Network Operators Group (NANOG) mailing list is
that some major ISP's are null routing the address of the verisign server in
protest.
The DNS name for the site you are redirected to is
http://sitefinder.verisign.com . It's IP Address is 64.94.110.11
If you can't get to the Address, it has probably been null-routed.
There is an article on slashdot already:
