I'm not complaining about it - heck, I use it. I just wanted to point out that desktop DNS servers are a reality. Right now, few folks use them. If ISP DNS server quality gets worse or there are a few big outages, we may see desktop DNS usage climb. This may have deleterious effects on the roots and TLD servers. It might be interesting to pull query data on a root server and correlate it with known dynamic IP address pools to spot a trend. - Dan On 4/15/05 9:54 AM, "Patrick W Gilmore" <patrick () ianai net> wrote:

And even if you can, name a flavor of unix which can't get it installed "with a few keystrokes [or mouse clicks]." We want people to use unix, stop complaining when they do. :-) Besides, the OSX named is well behaved in its default configuration (in my limited personal experience on my own laptops).
