Sigh. I did this with some of the RIPE folks when I worked at the LINX. The results (from K, which remember is _only_ authoritative for .) roughly looked like this: 25% of queries were for '.' 65% of queries were for 'foo.' where foo is NOT a valid TLD The remaining 10% or so were for GTLD domains, valid TLDs etc. Also of interest given the RFC1918 debate currently going on was the fact that 5% of queries originated from 1918 address space. -- Paul
