Re: Something better than DNS?

what do you think of as "expensive"?

Anything that has 1000% or higher markup. There is also another kind of
expense: solving the SiteFinder problem took a lot of time, public
outcry and moral outrage from a large group of people. It would have
been nice to just scoot over to a competitor. These are the arguments
for providing competition in a single namespace, as opposed to trying to
solve problems by legislation and public outcry.

Probably won't help with the price of Norwegian beer though.

Both Milton Friedman and JM Keynes are dead now, ...

Let's not torque the discussion off topic. Free market economics does
not come to bear on the issue because there is no free market to speak
of for registries.

Or in other words, if IBM wants to keep ibm.com then the root
must remain under the control of a single exclusive authority.

Agreed. There should be a single logical root, with an entity that has
exclusive authority over it.

However, to back up a step, what is it that you actually need/want?

A quick question: Right now, we'd like to have a domain delegated to a
large number (say 100+) of nameservers. The registrars we have gone
through impose a limit on the number of nameservers they are willing to
accept. Is this a limit stemming from the .COM registry, or is there a
registrar out there that will let us delegate a .COM domain to a few
hundred nameservers? (And no, not all nameservers need to be returned in
response to every query. A random sampling would be fine).
