<div>This is what the IAB had to say about this in may 2000 ( <a href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2826.txt" target="_blank">
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2826.txt</a> )<br>
<p>"Summary </p>
<p>"To remain a global network, the Internet requires the existence of a globally unique public name space. The
<abbr title="Domain Name System">DNS</abbr> name space is a hierarchical name space derived from a single, globally unique root. This is a technical constraint inherent in the design of the
<abbr title="Domain Name System">DNS</abbr>. Therefore it is not technically feasible for there to be more than one root in the public
<abbr title="Domain Name System">DNS</abbr>. That one root must be supported by a set of coordinated root servers administered by a unique naming authority.
</p>
"Put simply, deploying multiple public <abbr title="Domain Name System">DNS</abbr> roots would raise a very strong possibility that users of different ISPs who click on the same link on a web page could end up at different destinations, against the will of
the web page designers."<br>

Does anyone out there know of studies on the economic impact that having two or more root zones. I�ve been wondering what might happen to Namibia where we have mining, tourism, financial and fishing sectors � all of which are very important to our economy �
if the country were to switch over to another Internet with another route. When I think about it I can only come up with very bad scenarios and it would be nice to see if I am missing something.<br>
<br>
Also, what are the mechanics of switching to another root? I�m thinking of questions like; How do you program routers? Can undersea cables carry both types of traffic? Could BIND handle two roots? Etc.<br>
