The closest it gets is the fairly liberal co-location done by L-root. As I understand it, CommunityDNS does a similar thing, and they provide secondary service to a number of TLDs. http://www.communitydns.eu/pdf/Slave_Server_Spec.pdf Tony. -- f.anthony.n.finch <[email protected]> http://dotat.at/ Irish Sea: West or southwest, veering northwest for a time, 4 or 5, occasionally 6 at first.
