You might feel so, but in all honest the growth factor is astounding. Whats' worse is that now AURSC has become international, with ISPs and Providers world wide offering and providing Root Server resources, the client end usage of AURSC is far greater than you as an Australian can possibly imagine. Just alone there are 72 users in the 139.130 address range (lnk.telstra.net) Considering I only personally know 2 of them, I have NO IDEA at all who the others are, and wodul very much like to contact them. So you see, Ian, you have a limited value in comment, because you haven't in fact given the resources a go to see how they work. There was a comment put to me by Grant Butler (The Australia, or was it the Fin Review?) stating that a Senior Technical manager at Connect Com Au had said if they pointed their DNS servers to the AURSC servers, that AURSC would fall over really fast not being able to handle the requests. COnsidering there are only 700 TLDs listed, I can't see how this is possible. Either Mr. CCA doesn't understand DNS, which is clear to me, or the CCA DNS servers are very incorrectly configured to use Root Servers as Resolvers. I'd love to see CCA use AURSC resources, at least limited to those located in Australia, because even one of the largest service providers in the USA, who has a DNS Caching server farm doing 2.8 million requests every 15 minutes, uses AURSC and we only see 20 requests a week. Go figure. Perhaps more DNS education is needed in AU.
