The DNS problem

[Kerry Brown]

Then I believe you are mistaken. I believe Microsoft participates in the IETF and ICANN but they have no more influence than any other participants in the DNS system. As far as DNS servers go I believe you'll find the majority run Bind which is open source.

I'm sorry Kerry.  MS is a common name for MICROSOFT.

Thanks McTim,

However, DNS is an IP look up system and re-director,  where LISP is a programing language.  MS has the major influence in the DNS system.  We need a less single source dominated system.  Our hope must come from the Open Source mavericks to provide the way.

The DNS problem and reason for confusion is due to limitations imposed during the infancy of development stages of machine inter-connectivity. Basically, IP is insufficient to grant each machine a unique identity. The limited IP addresses are licensed to master networks which in turn are sub-netted to machines which only have a local identity slaved to the master.
Ultimately, we need a unique ID for each machine which is not slaved or controlled by a master.


Is this a DNS issue or an ID/Locator problem?
 

If so, LISP may be what you want to look at here, not the DNS.
