Actually, this is not a property of DNS. Blocks of IP numbers are assigned to specific countries, who give them out to their ISPs. The top-level rules are in http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1466.html but there is not much detail there. Google points to various sites that have collected much more information and made it available for free or for pay. I don't know much about them. -Yitz _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
