Correct. This is different from DNS hijacking, In fact, the 404 is a
file sent from the file server and by then DNS work is already over.

So you may ask, why did you send this mail?  I read the article about
a month ago and initially somehow associated it with DNS hijacking.
During the time I was drafting the mail, I noticed my logical error
and at that point decided not to send out the mail.  Somehow, gmail
saved it as a draft.

At some point today evening, I was walking and thought of some
correspondence I had over email.  So, I did a search and the keywords
ended up pulling this draft together with other mails. One way or the
other, I seem to have hit the send button but was not aware of it
until I saw the first response from it. Could have been worse if I had
sent out a more personal stuff, but thats my explanation of why its
not well thought out

Either way, think it was a good article to share, though I could have
phrased it better
