The domain name is > fine, though. On WebSTAR-talk a couple of days ago, there was a discussion of the longer domain names allowed by some of the new registrars. It was mentioned that NSI's old limit of 22 characters was an artifact of older versions of BIND, and that, since some of those older name servers may still be running out there on the net, it might not be such a good thing to be using longer names that they might choke on. Not to mention that longer names can to be unwieldy from a user's pov. Thoughts anyone? Are the new longer domain names going to cause problems in the real world, even if they're allowed under the RFCs? Christopher Bort
