Sorry Paul, I guess you don't understand how those TLDTAG records work.
Sorry John, I guess you don't understand how Internet naming works. There is one true root file, and it's not yours.
I guess the moon is in phase with some star somewhere, and now it's time to argue who's root is he "real" root... Barf. Enough already - we all have our own roots. one guy follows Vixies roots, while I typically roll my own. Many others do other things. The final point of this insanity is that there is NOT a single root. Hasn't been for a hell of a long time, and I suspect that there never will be again.
Its no joke.
The only joke here is your lack of knowledge concerning basic networking concepts like DNS.
The networking concepts ride on the social concepts (like PRI ridess on T1). all of these paradigms are equally valid, even if universally despised for it. I sayth to you, the parties in interest: Deal with it. It aint gonna change. -- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------
