Thats BS, the warm, squishy stuff usually found on the ground behind the

I have, see my sig, thats actually this machine, but it is NOT my local 
domain name and never will be.

ICANN does not, cannot, control what I use for a domain name on my side 
of a router doing NAT for you to gain access to my web pages via my 
registered domain name, in fact that lack of a dns resolution is part of 
my security model.  And its worked well, only one person has gained 
access to my local network system in a decade+, and I had to give him 
the passwords to get past every layer of that security. dd-wrt is very 
good at what it does.
