One of the natures of the internet is for alternate backbones. This feature is rarely used, but easily to add through hosts definition files and DNS hops. After enough people agree to use these new alternate backbones, then they could be proposed to IANA for more static backbone networks.
If you are familiar with freenode, you probably already understand how some of this works. With opensim, I wanted to suggest a new TLD: .sim That way simulators can easily find each other based on name/host resolutions. This could lead to more dynamic region presence. In one sense, it would basically mean to drop a DNS/BIND server into opensim. I'm sure people in-world would like their own "in-world internet" to work beyond simulators even if the simulator isn't bordered on the physical sides on the other simulator. IPv6 if you will... _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev
