I think you missed Andrew's point. All 6 technologies use a string that looks like a domain name but isn't intended for use in the DNS. Why does it matter if there is a '.' in the middle of that string? That is, given the technology is presumably going to intercept the domain name before it gets sent to a resolver, why would it not be possible to use (say) BIT.ALT instead of .BIT? Regards, -drc
