[Opensim-dev] Suggested in-world DNS: .sim

[Dzonatas Sol]

One of the natures of the internet is for alternate backbones. This 
feature is rarely used, but easily to add through hosts definition files 
and DNS hops. After enough people agree to use these new alternate 
backbones, then they could be proposed to IANA for more static backbone 
networks.

If you are familiar with freenode, you probably already understand how 
some of this works.

With opensim, I wanted to suggest a new TLD: .sim

That way simulators can easily find each other based on name/host 
resolutions. This could lead to more dynamic region presence.

In one sense, it would basically mean to drop a DNS/BIND server into 
opensim. I'm sure people in-world would like their own "in-world 
internet" to work beyond simulators even if the simulator isn't bordered 
on the physical sides on the other simulator.

IPv6 if you will...
