Looks like Rod has discovered Milton the WMD - Weapon of Mass Distraction Everyone without a clue is sent to ICANN at USC - the University of Spoiled Children Wonder if ICANN could provide a spare $10 million dollar grant to Milton's endowment? Meanwhile, the U.S. Government and the Government of Canada are preparing to launch their own Root Servers. They can agree via treaty to distribute the same "hints" about where TLDs are located. If one provider like http://OpenDNS.com switches and uses the U.S. Government "hints" that alone is over 14,000,000,000 DNS queries per day. Their customers pay for the U.S. Department of .COMmerce "hints".
