Hi,Do you know? Even in DNS take down you can youcan access your favourite sites.The More interesting question is: how possible is a complete "DNS takedown"? I don't feel that this is a real danger to the internet.From technical Site, DNS is decentral. All the Rootservers are designedto handle a fail/takedown of 2/3 of the dns-servers.From the political Site, the current public DNS is controlled by theICANN and so (theoretical) by the USA. But I think, if they would abuse their force too much, this just would bring more people to alternatives like OpenNIC.
Jon Postel tried to fix that. Its a shame he died before he completed the work. Jeff _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.grok.org.uk/full-disclosure-charter.html Hosted and sponsored by Secunia - http://secunia.com/
