dell@apple.com (Thomas E. Dell) (08/01/90)
A new domain has apparently been registered for Poland. At least ISO
thinks PL belongs to poland; the NIC has not been good about identifying
the country properly. They often list the contact point, which is often
an obscure university, or a point in another country.
GRYPHON.COM is back..
I will probably continue posting these monthly judging from the
positive response from the last one.

looks like the bonn.edu name isn't the primary one, or perhaps they are

Since cwi-gw.cwi.nl has a direct connection to UUnet, and therefore to SURAnet, the routers at SURAnet should have routing info to *.BONN.EDU. I checked at cwi-gw.cwi.nl and it really is distributed from cwi-gw to UUnet. So if you at the other side of the ocean have problems to get there it really is a problem of UUnet (or SURAnet) distributing the routes, or blocking access. If you can reach *.BONN.EDU you will probably get a bad response time, since the link between CWI (Amsterdam) and Uni-Dormund is (I believe) only 19.2. The link between CWI and UUnet is 64, but mostly heavily used. Still, in my opinion Uni Bonn should be in .de, but then, who am I ...

In the absence of any set policy regarding the registration of top-level country domains, it has always been the NIC's preference to have an agency of the country's government request and administer the domain. However, if a university or technical institute within the country applies for the top-level domain and is technically able to administer it -- and no government agency has come forward -- we have generally register the domain with that university/institute as the POC.

We (AlterNet) are getting routes for 131.220 from EUnet and are passing them on to SuraNet. I don't know why SuraNet is not passing the routes onto Merit. AlterNet is now peering directly with NSS #9, so will be able to announce the route for 131.220 directly to Merit, once all of the routing changes have been signed off on (by all of the AS's involved). I expect the routes to be in place on Tuesday. --asp@uunet.uu.net (Andrew Partan)
