Thanks John!   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wolf Tombe Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2004 12:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] DNS Question   I apologize if this is a bit off topic, but I’m in the process of setting up a new network from the ground up.  I have an option of using a .NET domain vs. a .COM domain as the primary for the network itself.  Whichever I pick will be used as the fully qualified domain name for the name severs).  Whenever I’ve run a DNS check using the tools at www.dnsstuff.com (which are the best by the bay) I’ve always noticed a comment that using .NET is penalized points i.e., “3 points for ".net" TLD (extra lookups may be required to find the parent servers)”.  My question is how big a deal is this really?  I could use a .COM domain for the network (and thus the name servers), but for a several business reasons doing so complicates the initial start up of the network for me.    I’d appreciate whatever advice people can provide.   Thanks!
