What on earth for? I didn't mean to imply a .PER registry
would hand out an address that could only be use by .PER
poeple, they're all globally routable no matter who you ge them
from.
A registry is a registry is a registry. gtld, cctld, address.
Each has a charter for dispensation of the name and must
maintain a DNS database (such as IN-ADDR.ARPA). Why on earth
would you need seeparate address regstries? There are only
so many clues to go around, and a need for a finite set of
registries and servers. Saying we need a multi million dollar
company to manage one domain seems silly to me. According to
the latest stats, ARIN, the largest IP registry does 4
allocaitons ina peak load, 2 a day nominally. ARIN's servers
are still housed at and run by NSI.
So what makes more sense. One monolithic address registry
which is a monopoly and a single point of failure,
or 2048 registries, any one of which can give you an address
you can use?
