This year alternate roots are supporting 5.5% of internet traffic. The BIND study this year to date has ennumerated 60,513 dns (15% of 399,937 dns) of which 3,331 report they are using non-USG roots. In my opinion - this is significant. And it puts a whole new twist on the song - what a difference a day makes. -- Joe Baptista http://www.dot.god/ dot.GOD Hostmaster +1 (805) 753-8697
