2. Are there differences between how New.net domain names and .COM/.NET/.ORG domain names work? There are some differences, but in many ways the domain names work the same.
Nope. You query a resolver, and it returns the best answer that it knows. Resolvers only do what you tell them to do.
One difference is that in order for people to see New.net domain names they must be either accessing the Internet through one of our many ISP partners or they must have downloaded and installed our Web browser plug-in.
In order to use the New.net names, you just need to query a resolver that knows about them. The '.com/.net/.org' block has a distinct advantage, since most resolvers find out about their servers by default. -- Alex Kamantauskas alexk () tugger net
