Are you telling me that I could register "what ever name" to "what ever ip address" that even does not belong to me? This does not seem to be logical. I can use "what ever name".est.is in my domain for my network 194.144.208."what ever" but I must not be allowed to register "what ever other name".est.is to address/network that I have not got from INTERNIC/RIPE. We have virtual domains here and they have logical reason, but not someone using reseved (assigned) address is not ethical. -- Þórður Ívarsson Thordur Ivarsson Rafeindavirki Electronic technician Norðurgötu 30 Nordurgotu 30 Box 309 Box 309 602 Akureyri 602 Akureyri Ísland Iceland --------------------------------------------- FreeBSD has good features, Some others are full of unwanted features! ---------------------------------------------
