This is a good thing for netsol from a technical perspactive. The instability from the commercialization of domain names back when NSI had the contract has only served to destabilize the .com and to some extent .net zone files.
As domains are purchased, transferred or cancelled for whatever reasons they leave a trail of links. The domain itself may be NXDOMAIN but the links still exists. As I think Chuck Gomes said at ICANN Rome their servers get an overwhelming number of hits for domains that are NXDOMAIN. This is understandable as many links within the web point to NXDOMAINS. Its not domain specualtion which is causing all the unwanted traffic - it's dead links. SiteFinder was an attempt to address this - when it failed they tried to anycast the .com/.net zones. SiteFinder fixed the traffic problem by giving a NOERROR on all request - but the anycast solution has only proven to be a costly headache for Netsol. So in some small way 100 year domains will stabalize things - but not by much. Now if they offered 100 years at a reasonable price - then I would even consider buying a few more .com domains. regards joe baptista On Mon, 22 Mar 2004, dnsadmin wrote: > Comments anyone? > > Do you think this will be a very big seller?
