Yes, even the milnet has its non-military users.
 
I guess what I wanted to say, is that the map that John is referring to is
a map of the Domains of the internet.  I remember seeing it once, and it
is strictly a break-out of all the domains registered with the SRI-NIC...

I don't know that that means you can get it from the NIC, however.  I am
sure that I did not get it from the NIC myself.  I also remember that I got
this "map" early this year, and it hadn't been revised since 88.  If 
anyone does run across a really current one, I'd be interested in seeing
how well it reflects our af.mil reality (:->
