Ok, if you want it to simply carry out lookups and return answers then fair enough.
If how ever you want to do more a quick set of things to consider (this is purely off the top of my head)
0. Security 1. Validation of the various record types 2. Caching of lookups 3. Proper use of the dns heirarchy 4. Security 5. Should be easy to manage 6. Zone transfers 7. Speed... slow dns will be no use to man nor beast 8. Security 9. Compliant to the relevant RFC's 10. Dynamic DNS support
Ok, I've put security in a few times but its vital enough and hard to get right...
Rare in this context really doesn't mean rare as in short supply...
"As defined by IUPAC, rare earth elements or rare earth metals are a collection of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table, namely scandium, yttrium, and the fifteen lanthanides.[1] Scandium and yttrium are considered rare earths since they tend to occur in the same ore deposits as the lanthanides and exhibit similar chemical properties.
The term "rare earth" arises from the rare earth minerals from which they were first isolated, which were uncommon oxide-type minerals (earths) found in Gadolinite extracted from one mine in the village of Ytterby, Sweden. However, with the exception of the highly-unstable promethium, rare earth elements are found in relatively high concentrations in the earth's crust, with cerium being the 25th most abundant element in the earth's crust at 68 parts per million."
True; then again my media player is backed up to my main desktop pc at home and my work laptop. My PDA ditto, my phone other than contacts isn't backed up but equally its mostly just text messages from the wife regarding what shopping to get on the way home and the odd 'which pub are you in? meet you there' type convo.
To lose any one set I'd have to lose both my pc's and the device at a close enough time interval to have not synced to alternate source.
(And most of the audio stuff and photos are stored on both the desktop pc internally and its external usb hdd)
My point is if I lose my iPhone/smartphone I lose - my phone, pda, media player. If I lose my pda I've probably still got my phone and media player etc.
For years we've avoided single points of failure by distributing work amongst multiple hardware instances and now we're going rapidly in the opposite direction...
iPhones are made by Apple (well atleast soley for Apple and under strict contracts to Apple) , most Windows phones tend to by made by companies who don't care about MS's image and so produce any old shit they can rustle up.
Having used both Apple phones and MS phones, personally though I'd rather go back to having a decent phone (IE good at calls and sms at a pinch), decent pda (email, organiser, some apps) and a decent media player - failure of 1 just loses me that bit of functionality - smart phone dies and all 3 die - apart from that I frequently turn my mobile off (or ahem, forget? it) when I'm working on a problem but still stick my headphones in (more to drown out the rest of the world than listen to the music).
1. I have a couple of large dogs. 2. The dogs need feeding. 3. Food is expensive. 4. Tweet I'm going away for a few days and have left xyz on the desk oh dear. 5. Dogs fed. 6. Profit!
I was going to mod this up, but while true I can't decide between insightful and funny - I kept chucking when I thought of a document going to see a shrink;)
Will that still apply at extreme altitude as friction, and ergo drag, is going to be a lot lower due to thinner air?
Regardless rather him than me... also the comment from him regarding bits of his body being in a transonic and some in supersonic airflow makes me wonder if he's going to arrive in one or multiple pieces....
As a coder I don't care about proportional/mono fonts. What I do care about is a font with clear and distinct characters, especially O0ilI({)}[]
To be honest, I'd like to bring back the ø for use in code.... I know its strictly a maths symbol and not a zero but it would be clearer than trying to spot a capital oh from a zero...
These days you don't have the proper flight plan and don't respond to hails a few missiles will stop you pretty fast... and while its a good fighter jet if unarmed its not going survive long against current generation fighters + missiles.
Sorry; should have prefaced my remark with any COMPETENT isp;) And to be fair probably more the buisness/premium price end of the market.
Infact now I think of it... I'm just baised to good quality,reliable, hotswappable etc kit after working in the teleco industry and working for an isp who did aim for 5 9's - which we didn't always meet for all customers as BT have a habit of screwing their end up.

Picture quality is only as good as the current atmospheric conditions ;)
Just stuck my head outside and can see about 20 yards if that... dark and foggy
One small flaw in your arguement.
Common Sense is not common... it seems to be getting rarer and should be on the endangered speieces list.

Err.. wrong... the DRM lasted about 1 day if that....
So its a new technique but not really an improved one... I'll stick to generating random numbers off rf noise.
Would this beat methods such as leaky diodes or radio noise which some systems use to get random data?
Better than what it will become now its got wider publicity ....
Think good is a relative term in this instance.
Why bother with the embrace, extend part - costs time and money; go straight to extinguish and save money in the longer term.

Or just forgetting to cancel the milk or the pile of post just inside the front door, or news papers you forgot to cancel etc etc etc.
Corporate policies can - or are you suggesting ingore your company's policy?

Err... why refer to WoW? Without internet access WoW is kind of a mute point ;)
Err... he didn't create the tool (and argueably not the data set - the 'net users did that part :) )

Add in the number of pilots who even if they're anti-pirate operate a KOS policy when it comes to macro miners....

Most home hardware will not get you 5 9's availabilty and if the OP is aiming to be an ISP then you need as close to 5 9's as possible.
