Sounds like ".local" has become more prominent than ".com".
Root-servers report they receive 50 times as much traffic.

Yes - thats an excellent example of a TLD that gets alot of traffic. .LOCAL and .LOCALHOST are one of the worse offenders. The public root sees this traffc and handles it appropriately. I think the only roots that support .local and .localhost is the public roots.

Well, I run my own private, little rootserver.

It is meant for internal use only but I do receive traffic
allthough I am on a dynamic ip-address.

Kind regards
Peter and Karin

Wildcards in fact are a good thing from the dns perspective. They reduce overall traffic to the zone.


That's ridiculous.

Who says reducing traffic to the zone is a good thing?



Alt-roots must represent perfection by that standard, as they get zero
traffic. ;)
