I was trying out some of the alternate domains/DNS stuff... and ran into
this other problem... though my machine was able to resolve those DNS and
things... my ISP is routing all http traffic through some netcache
device... and that thing is still *dumb* and it can't resolve those
sites... so I still can't view those sites.

So until ICANN's monopoly over the Internet ends... and an really *open*
Domain registry and DNS system is in place... there's not much scope for
non-ICANN approved domain names.

Sad that in an open place like the internet... we still have a government
organisation like ICANN who *controls* the place.
