yes, but not with .ALT, which is a politically desirable gTLD name, and which allows the connotation of "alternate DNS". i suggested .EXTERNAL because nobody will ever want it as a gTLD and because its connotation is unambiguously "not DNS". interestingly, in other namespaces, they use the local syntax equivilent of ".INTERNET" to refer to names which have to be resolved in DNS. seriously, i wouldn't object to warren's draft if the string he chose hadn't been .ALT. -- Paul Vixie _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
