" The internet is really huge (todays wacky understatement) 26 alpha, 10 digits, some random punctuation. Wonder how long before we run out? We got IPV6, how about DNSv6. Can I have the .dot TLD?

    You definitely can. Just meet two conditions:
    • have customized named, so it can respond as TLD DNS server, and
    • convince everyone, or at least goot portion of DNS server owners, to include your server(s) into named.root
    That should do the trick.

    Well, I do not suppose you did not know that, just a sugggestion for others to think about possibility to have our own (I would like to hear somebody's comments on that) alternative TLD.
