I apologize, but this is one of my buttons. *Please* do not alias the second-level domain name space. It creates *horrible* incorrect expectations in the minds of untrained users. If you feel the need to register them both, use them in the fashion originally intended: reserve .net for infrastructural machine names and other things invisible to the public. At worst, alias *everything* in one of them to the *root* of the other. In practice, you're not really protecting yourself from anything unless you register deanspace.*, and (luckily), that's not practical. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
