Then they are > doing a favor by off-loading traffic. Not all the time. I've noticed some corporations (big ones like hyundai) use their own roots to block traffic to their employees. There's a wildcard record in the root so that if an employee goes to www.sex.com they end up at www.hyunai.com - or something to that effect. > Separately, I've noticed something on my Solaris 8 box. > > I often freeze my Netscape browser windows when leaving > the computer for a while.

Looking closer, I had DNS > queries regarding non-browser-accessed sites, like ftp. That is odd. DNS can carry alot more then just dns. Maybe that's whats' hapeening. regards joe -- Joe Baptista http://www.dot.god/ dot.GOD Hostmaster

The claim is as follows, of the 60,513 dns surveyed 3,331 reported using non-USG roots. A sample of this size has a standard error of +/- 1.6509% with a 95% confidence. So I'm very confident were seeing a trend away from ICANN. William if your willing to provide me with an undertaking that you will verify my data then i'll send you the ip's already tested and you'll see the results are correct. If not - shut your uneducated pie hole. The bottom line here is that my predictions that ICANN would lose market share are right on. Last year it was at 99.7% and this year it's at 94.5%.
