----- Original Message ----- From: Einar Stefferud In this kind of mixed world of inclusiveness and selected exclusiveness, it is possible to envision that there is some kind of Composite Inclusive Root that is kept free of collisions through careful and considerate cooperative collegial efforts. .... But, clearly, as the tone of this list shows, this is not the place to self organize such a thing as a coordinating body for the DNS. The issues are much too political for the technically oriented and focused IETF to touch. .... ==== Stef, The new 128-bit DNS software (software, not people) builds the "Inclusive Root" dynamically. You might want to study how dynamic directory software works. http://freenetproject.org http://freenet.sourceforge.net Jim Fleming 2002:[IPv4]:000X:03DB http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/130dftmail/unir.txt
