I would agree with Tom in that this was entered during a test scenario.
Quite a while ago I believe Tom himself explained that if the "append these
DNS suffixes" option is empty, then a would be intruder is able to do
something fancy to get into your network or something (not big on the
specifics), and to avoid this Tom's exact recommendation was to include
something like "bogus.net" so as to prevent this from happening.

Hi Arthus,

Are you sure you didn't enter that when doing a test?

Otherwise, you need to remove that entry now.

HTH,
Tom

I was reviewing the settings of my ISA server and found out something
suspicious.  I found "bogus.net" written under append these DNS suffixes
(in order) in IP properties.  The last thing that I've done is to
install the URLScan.  Is the machine compromised?  Any of you who
experienced the same thing?  

Thank you.
