And people move all the time. I don't know but it seems to me that the vast majority of systems on the net are either corporations or universities which have very little prospect of moving anywhere. (University of Toronto anyways has no plans on moving soon) What about if the few people who travel around be put in yet another domain ( .travel or .moving ???) Besides if you pick up your machine and move from New York to Minnesota all the routing to your machine will have to be changed and likely you would need to come under a new subdomain depending on who you connect to (Its likely that you will have different links). The geographical method is best although if it is a truly non-stationary machine then there might be problems which could be solved by the special non-stationary domain. -- "I feel fine..." ...{utzoo, decvax, ihnp4, cbosgd, utcsri, mnetor}!utcs!scott scott%utcs.toronto.edu@csnet-relay.arpa scott@utoronto.bitnet scott@utcs.utoronto.bitnet Disclaimer: The above is not actually the opinion of anyone at all but especially not the administration or staff of this institution.
