OK that worked, but IE will most likely have the plug-in installed automatically.
Following is what I am referring to. --------------- The system would rely upon either the cooperation of individual Internet service providers or upon a browser plug-in that Web surfers would download and install. Either way, addresses for the new domains would go through the New.net site, and then be directed to locations that would exist essentially as subdomains of New.net. As such, New.net poses no real threat to ICANN's ability to govern global domain name creation. But it could create other difficulties, warned Cerf. For instance, it could open a gulf between browsers and ISPs equipped with the plug-in and those that aren't. This would make a difference, since Web users would need to bear this in mind if they wanted to know which site they were connecting to. For instance, browsers or ISPs without the plug-in may resolve to redirect the query to some other site -with unpredictable results. --------------- Not completely sure why a plug-in is needed at all, might have understood that in the beginning when they first came out they wanted to bypass the DNS servers or something, but why still rely on plug-ins (if they still are)? Couldn't seem to find any concrete info on this.. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Stanton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 5 August 2003 9:51 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] RE: [OT] TLDs Not that I know of.
