I suppose I could use jrl.alt, but I wouldn't want to use plain .alt for fear of, if you'll pardon the phrase, name collisions.
Name collisions may occur at any delegation point - why do you think the root zone is special in this regard?
The point of .alt as I understand it is to provide a home for future stuff like .onion that is intended to be globally visible and usable but not resolved through the DNS.
My .qy isn't globablly visible, so I don't care about other local uses of .qy. R's, John _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
