The spirit of education is often saving money based on a former life as a lab tech. While cheap, the proposal to "just go register a real one!" seems good for $registrar, but potentially bad for the Internet (will we end up with a bunch of garbage domains that are never used again, and might actually want to be used by someone else, but will then be squatted when they expire? yada yada), and better suited for business vs school networks. Also, I had a digital entity long before entering a college setting. I suspect kids these days are even more likely to have similar. If real is the answer, maybe most students wouldn't have to do anything at all. I really think a lab experiment would be fine using local TLDs, but I guess it's impossible to really know how valid some of the concerns are unless we sit through the class or see the course material. :-) _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
