I want to clear this up lest some claim gets misinterpreted and repeated elsewhere. The domain name registry for .info and .org -- that is, the system that makes sure that at most one person in the world has control of a domain name in either of those domains -- uses PostgreSQL under the hood. I was fortunate enough to have had a small role in the launch of both of those systems and several others at Afilias. Unless something significant has changed (and I have reason to believe it hasn't), the real-time changes to the DNS information in those registries and a number of others are also pumped through PostgreSQL. I do not speak for Afilias, and I am not associated with them in any way any more. The domain registries do not have any control over what software people use in sites using names in that registry: if you register example.info, Afilias has nothing to do with what software you use. I'm sure to this audience that is self-evident, but having just returned from an ICANN meeting I am not at all sure it is self-evident to everyone in the world.
