I agree with Ted, it's just another useless TLD, and just another waste.<div><br></div><div>There are plenty of TLD's, and another stupid TLD is meaningless.</div><div><br></div><div>Nobody will use it, and it's just a waste. I see no real benefit as well.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Users could simply keep their current domain name, and just use a "<a href="http://grid.domain.com">grid.domain.com</a>" no reason to create a whole new domain name, just for the grid server. You don't go out and get a whole new domain name just for your mail server, so I can't imagine why you'd need one for your grid server. Seems foolish. You can host your web, mail, and grid all on your same domain. No reason to put it on a separate domain. Makes no sense. I see no real benefit as well. It makes more sense to just stick with the current geographic/organizational structure that is currently in use. No reason for another silly TLD.</div>

domain.sim<br>
<br>
One doesn't fit. :)<br>
Currently internet is built on a system where TLD's being allocated to<br>
geographic/organizational relation, and subdomains are<br>
server(service)-specific. Even more so as they are considering adding TLD's<br>
for cities as well (to loosen up competition for domain names).<br>
<br>
Private networks such as I2P use their own TLD because the service offered<br>
is geographically unknown, doesn't reside on a fixed IP and should *really*<br>
not be resolvable from the internet.<br>
<br>
I see a whole lot of misunderstandings, technical difficulties, etc. in<br>
adding it. And no benefits.<br>
<br>

Subject: [Opensim-dev] Suggested in-world DNS: .sim<br>
<br>
One of the natures of the internet is for alternate backbones. This<br>
feature is rarely used, but easily to add through hosts definition files<br>
and DNS hops. After enough people agree to use these new alternate<br>
backbones, then they could be proposed to IANA for more static backbone<br>
networks.<br>
<br>
If you are familiar with freenode, you probably already understand how<br>
some of this works.<br>
<br>
With opensim, I wanted to suggest a new TLD: .sim<br>
<br>
That way simulators can easily find each other based on name/host<br>
resolutions. This could lead to more dynamic region presence.<br>
<br>
In one sense, it would basically mean to drop a DNS/BIND server into<br>
opensim. I'm sure people in-world would like their own "in-world<br>
internet" to work beyond simulators even if the simulator isn't bordered<br>
on the physical sides on the other simulator.<br>
<br>
IPv6 if you will...<br>
