Sadly, that is true. Most of the people I talk to have no idea who the IETF is, and that even includes a variety of ISPs that I'd otherwise imagine to have a vested interest. Especially for .internal, where the expectation (as drafted) is to run your own zones for it too, but otherwise to be bog-standard DNS. As far as relevance goes, I don't think that funneling as much of the .lan, .corp, ... usage as possible into .internal would be a bad thing. That would help establish the DNS and its root as a global namespace, that fewer people/ organizations would have a reason to unilaterally walk out of. Just like private-use address spaces (that are also loosely divided into 192.168/16 for home and 10/8 for professional use), .internal could be that 10/8 for DNS names. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Michael De Roover Mail: [email protected] Web: michael.de.roover.eu.org _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
