The other thing that comes to mind: If the Internet is global, what does the above mean operationally? If there is more than one "gmail.com" on the Internet, do the DNS servers in the EU point to different hosts for gmail.com than the DNS servers in the US? I wouldn't think that would work. There certainly couldn't be duplicate e-mail addresses in the system, not duplicate [specific [EMAIL PROTECTED] addresses.
