The traffic is probably inverse to the popularity of the site due do caching. Small sites, would get more unique hits that larger ones, proportionately. I.E. Yahoo is probably cached everywhere. Of course there is a load just to support all the cache refreshes. But the price to host the domain wouldn't be linear from the " $1-$5.00 a month" base for "MomsMeatLoaf.com' to all the hits that Yahoo gets. That would make Yahoo DNS hosting worth $100,000 a month, and I doubt anyone charging that for 1 domain. :-) Cary Fitch Attend Peering Conference for ISP's, April 23-24, 2004, Dallas Texas Full info: http://www.peercon.org ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael B.

UltraDNS is pretty unrealistic with their pricing model. Great idea behind this though.
