Please find attached an Open Letter to all ISPs in New Zealand and all users of NZNOG.
This is in no way to be treated as SPAM. It is in response to the many misconceptions and uninformed comments made by ISPs in New Zealand and users of NZNOG as a result of the email I sent to ISPs in New Zealand asking them to adjust their server settings to accept access to the .z extension.
Please read it and if any one has any comments or requires any further information please contact me.
I'm sorry Trevarr but your "Open Letter" only emphasises what I had concluded previously. There are very strong technical reasons why alternative roots are a very bad idea. You have not provided any information to the contrary. Are you aware of who you're making comments about here? These people are responsible for ensuring that the Internet in New Zealand is working. These people understand DNS down to the bits sent over the wire. To say that these people's opinions are uninformed could be seen as an insult. I do not have a problem with your broadcasting my reply to your email, but are you sure that others will have the same opinion? If your message was a business letter and not spam, how about you bother running the spell and grammar checker next time? --- Mark Goldfinch Network Engineer Paradise Net Internet Services TelstraSaturn Ltd. --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
