Subject: RE: Multiple Roots are "a good thing" - Karl Auerbach
How is adding .new.net to the end of a domain name any different from pre-pending 10-10-220 to a phone number? if you sign up with AT&T, the 10-10-220 becomes transparent, just as if you install the new.net plugin.
Ah ha! but that's an entirely different question than that of considering multiple authoritative DNS "roots". Suddenly you elimiate the technical problems entirely.
