servers and you have just created a really powerful control mechanism
for
entities to control large sections of the internet since folks from
those
sections won't be able to use anyone else's DNS servers or even run
their
own (much like port 25 blocking limits who can run a mail server today).
He
who controls dns controls the network.Is this like when you brought up Government conspiracies in this regard on another list?
It's a security issue. He who controls the dns server controls you, yes? Ok we are talking about locking down DNS like we locked down smtp relay. So if you want to send a mail today can you just use any smtp server you want or are you severly limited, possibly by a port 25 block which forces you to use just your ISP's mail smtp server? Don't you think creating a control point like that is dangerous? Especially dangerous when it's DNS which runs virtually every function on the internet? It's not a conspiracy theory, it's fact, if you create a control like that someone is going to want to control it. I suggest only that we consider this along with everything else. Geo.
