Anyone talked to the ASO's folks?
This new way of operating the .com .net zones will also have a big impact on the network operators and ISP as for example when you want to troubleshoot a network problem people will always get answer for any domain via a nslookup :-(


Don't worry, according to Neulevel <http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg00082.html and http://www.byte.org/blog/_archives/2003/9/16/2958.html>, application developers can just update their software to take the new behavior into account.

And while they're doing that, I was hoping that ARIN and the other ASO's might figure out a way to point me in the right direction when I type in a non-existent IP address...this could be very helpful.

...and maybe IANA could do figure out some wildcarding of their own - damn pesky port numbers - can never keep those straight either.
