Sean,

I noticed that the NIC has changed the DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT form. They now
require name servers for domains to be on Government-sponsored networks.
How does this effect customers of non-government sponsered networks like
Alternet and PSInet? Is there some background to this change?

File DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT;2
87 (7) Domains must provide at least two independent servers
88 on Government-sponsored networks that provide the domain
89 service for translating names to addresses for hosts in
