The result, as you correctly point out, is that the "botched together list of servers" are now visible to everyone and will need to be fixed somehow. That is the entire point of making the tools available.the collisions dont seem to be being avoided Checking (AlterNIC) nameserver ny.alternic.org for .SHOP Checking (NEWNET) nameserver ns0.newdotnet.net for .SHOP Checking (NS) nameserver ns.autono.net for .SHOP See - you open it up and it all falls apart These "finder tools" are bobbins, they just query against a botched together list of servers. I wouldn't put any money down on that bet. ORSC is a non-profit Delaware corp., and it's only product is a published root zone which it gives away for free. New.net is a for-profit/VC-funded registry/registrar operation. Not quite the same thing at all... also ORSC sounds techie friendly - it has the word open in so it must be good - but c'mon theres no difference between it and new.net or whoever? You do, along with everyone else that has control over where their DNS points (per RFC2826).having said that maybe it would be better than icann.. only problem is who has to give them the authority and make everyone abide by it?
