I can call my machine xxx.tester.com. I can also put this name and ip-adress in the host-file of all the machines I can get control off. However, this only makes xxx.tester.com available to these machines, not the whole rest of the world. "C> Also, how do they propegate the DNS entry for "xxx.tester.com" "C> without involving Internic? They can't. Internic just takes care of the top level. They assign authority over tester.com to somebody (you?). Then only YOU can assign the names below tester.com. Naturally, I can send out mail as president@whitehouse.gov, if I want, but I can not get mail back to me, because I don't have authority to alter the whitehouse.gov-domain.
