DNS Naming Convention

[Joseph S D Yao]

The problem is, as you immediately found!, that alternate root servers
are rarely - if ever - set up to correctly resolve ALL domains outside
the ones they are adding.  Also, what if three of them decide to have
their own separate implementations of the domain ".wall", and I send
you the URL <URL: http://up.against.the.wall/> - against which of them
do you resolve the domain?  For deterministic computing, information
needs a single root.  If you want to skip around, non-deterministically,
that is of course your privilege.
