Barry, I'm confused about which pieces of software would have to be aware
of the properties of your suggested phone-based domains:
any program which uses domain names
my local resolver
my local nameserver
all root nameservers
the nameservers for the new phone-based domains.
Tell me it's just the last one, please!
But I would have thought that my local nameserver is likely to cache
stuff from 002.1234.5678.fon and so go looking in the wrong place for
987.6543.5678.fon. And it is likely to be confused if a nameserver for
.fon tells it to go look in 002.fon for 002.1234.5678.fon. Ok, tell me
where I'm going wrong, again :-).
