Karl,

I am not sure that uDNS claims to be "better" than eDNS.

As I understand the situation, eDNS people are now going
to focus on building a more robust version of the BIND
software and will be focusing on operational excellance
and stability.

The uDNS people seem to be more interested in supporting
a wide-range of Registration Authorities and new Top Level
Domains that are somewhat controversial. There does not
seem to be a strong "technical" or "operational" slant to
the uDNS movement.

I am sure that system administrators will be able to make
their decision which Root Name Server Confederation they
prefer. With 6 active confederations, companies now have
a choice. That is what free market help to create.

I look forward to working with you on the new version(s) of
BIND, and I also look forward to seeing uDNS take shape.
Both groups can make a contribution to the Internet.
