Not really, it's the only resonnable aproach available to get an alternate DNS into the windows users systems without setting up a TLD clash with NSI/Verisign/ICANN.
After everyone and their brothers submission to get .xxx and .sex domains into the TOP TLD failed miserably, what are we left with nothing...
What they are proposing as browser modification, (The DNS plug-in) is the equivalent of what Macromedia does. No Flash, , it's downloads and installs automatically. Something simmilar will be atemted, and it's not very complicated.
How does this works? What is DNS.... IT's the name.TLD associated with the ip of a machine mapped on the net where your website is. The big database is at Internic root. ISP make a copy of it every few days so that the load can be distributed locally, instead of in a single accesspoint point.
Everytime you connect to your isp, a few things is given to you.
An adress is assigned to you so we know where to send information, thats you IP. Also, your computer is being told where your isp copy of the internic database is. When you type gofuckyourself.com, your computer send a query to your isp and ask it to check if there is an address mapped to it. IF so, then the address is returned to you, and your computer then tries to connect to that address.
What the plug-in will do is this. It will tell your computer to check their copy of of DNS first and if no match is found, then to check your isp copy. Thats it.
Now I know some of you never evewn heard of all the transactions that are made just to look up names on the net, but this is how it will work.
Wheter it will gain acceptance into the mainstream, is a gamble yes, but calling it a scam is demonstrating a misunderstanding of the technology.
Good thing we are not in the middle ages, you people would already be burning them alive ...
