Owch, owch.... two points Technically you have the root servers and such ... from where all nameservers on the 'net get their information. However, maintaining and running DNS servers for their users, and to serve DNS zones for their domains, is the responsiblity of each host on the 'net. > Our /etc/resolv.conf files can then mention the IP Address > of this 'centralised' Nameserver , that does the resolution for us . > 1) At the national levels in the various Linuxing nations > of the world. > 2) At the international level : May be , at gnu.org ? > 3) At the various city - LUGs . Who the hell decides about payment? How do you restrict that nameserver to authorized users (that is, beyond a certain IP range it will only return answers for any zones it serves, won't redirect queries and fetch info from other nameservers...) > Please ponder over this . > Ours is a mission to take off the last lines of difference > between "OUR" OS and that of Microsoft. DNS is DNS.
