Biology Lines: 22 To: Makey@LOGICON.ARPA I am willing to accept a small table of 12 servers that changes once every two or three months. It is a hell of a lot better than pushing around thousands of entries. It may not even be necessary to keep all the root servers. All you would need would be a list of neighbors that would be willing to do the lookups for you. As to keeping the traffic down, essentially, you would be running a uucp flavored named, so you would want to do things that the real named does, like caching, and preloading of that cache for sites that you tend to speak more to. $BEGIN PIPEDREAM$ Of course, the real solution would be to see everyone on the Internet. Maybe in our lifetimes? $END PIPEDREAM$ Eliot -- Eliot Lear [lear@net.bio.net]
