inevitably there will be folks who register .FOOBAR and advertise it as "http://foobar/" on a billboard and then get burned by all of the local "foobar.this.tld" and "foobar.that.tld" names that will get reached instead of their TLD. i say inevitable; i don't know a way to avoid it since there will be a lot of money and a lot of people involved.
I think it's probably worse than that, since a lot of the companies who might be foolish enough to try that *are companies that make stuff that's on your LAN*... and what are you going to name the *one* Apple server that's on your LAN in your internal DNS? Of course; you're gonna call it "apple". Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
