IMHO, since ICANN has created the situation, the ball is in ICANN’s court to say how this works without disrupting name services. Their ill-informed hipshot is not our emergency. On Sep 17, 2014, at 9:09 AM, Jay Ashworth <jra () baylink com> wrote:
Pursuant to https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/name-collision-2013-12-06-en) mentioned in the Scotland thread... it seems there are two major potential points of possible collision: 1) User network uses "fake" TLD which is no longer fake, and local resolver server blows it 2) User network blows it worse, and tries to resolve a monocomponent name off non-local servers. The latter would seem to be avoidable by making sure that *DNS resolution of bare TLDs always returns NXDOMAIN*. Is that a requirement for a TLD? If it isn't, does anyone know of any domains dumb enough to actual return something for a lookup on the bare TLD? Is there actually *any* good reason why a lookup on a bare TLD ("com.") might return a valid record? And what about Naomi? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
