Better that people be hassled about .GOVs, .NETs, and .EDUs than
that they have those domains yanked at some point in the future...Avi
I reckon it may be because the MilNet Domain Maintainers for the services
are loathe to give out a .mil address to a commercial ISP. We ran into
that with a client from the Army. They wanted a virtual server, but the
Army wouldn't assign a .mil address for them.
