These organizations collectively handle second-level name resolution for the overwhelming majority of the millions of .com, .net, and .org domains in use on the Internet. And while I haven't done a survey, I'd surmise that they overwhelmingly use BIND.
Will these 141 organizations many of whose business relies on BIND be eligible for your fee-based list? Do they consitute providers of "critical infrastructure" in your eyes?
They're registrars. The don't directly provide DNS in any more critical a nature than any commercial DNS provider. And, since they're commercial organizations using BIND in a commercial aspect, I think they can cough up the money. -- i am jamie at arpa dot com .. and this is my .sig. core1.dns.microsoft.com# sho access-list 101 Extended IP access list 101 deny udp any any eq domain (874572345872345 matches)
