And if they do, what's to stop the root operators from doing this.
Remember, there are 13 IPs no one can get around - no other "TLD" to register your domain name.
Flipped on its head, what's to stop the root operators from circumventing anything Verisign or any other TLD operator does?
we'd have to agree on what to do... and thats been problematic for years. or one could view it as the core strength of the root server system (theres a misnomer:) of course, if a majority of the root server instances decided to make the change, then we have inconsistancy in the authoritatve data - which is -REALLY- bad.
