I'll give this a try... The new aspect of this is that a PRS (personal
root server) is running on your PC (personal computer). The cpu
doesn't have to be anything more than what you're running now
because the service is for only one customer... the PC ....
A small 120 gig disk can easily take care of all the zone information
which will be supplied by your PRS subscription. The PRS subscription
will download to your PC the complete factored zone data...that's
the www.domain.com = 123.123.123.123 for all the sites that you
want. For all you technical people that's all the A records and MX records
from all the nameservers of all the domains found in the zones that
are of worthy interest. The subscription service will have to do
a lot of work to compile all these A records, but that's why it's
a subscription. If your PC has say 150,000,000 A records and MX records
that point to all the domain.com www.domain.com IP addresses that
you want for your internet pleasure that's not a very big file on
systems of today (maybe only 5 gigs of compressed database).
The only part that needs to be downloaded from your PRS subscription
is the part that changed in the last day or so. I'm not sure why
I'm talking about this on a public board. I'm starting my PRS subscription
service today.... let me know when the PRS software is ready for
all to get this revolution moving. I guess you may call this the "distributed
root" as opposed to the "centralized root". Nobody can stop this from
happening. The root zones only contail A records of the nameservers
themselves. All the real useful A records will come from the thousands
of nameservers that would have to be polled to extract the IP addresses
for all the other sub sub domains. One question? How many A records are
there within the total internet today? Even if it's a billion or two that's
still within the very fast growing storage of our ever increasing disk
space. And I personally would not want the 80% of the current internet
that is not useful anyway.
