I don't know if changing the policy under which root servers are run
(or the people that run them) is a long term solution and I'll leave
the short term question to be debated by others. However, I am curious
if there might be a better method to name service design which would
lessen the dependancy on a set of root servers. Is anyone aware of
proposals for aternative methods of implementing nameservice?
(And is there a better forum in which to discuss such proposals?)
