: In principle I think this looks fine, although I do think
: it might be nice if it were possible to short-circuit the
: DNS lookup for those schemes where it is known that a
: server wont be found (eg. until someone takes on the task
: of serving ISBN numbers, MD5 checksums, etc). If those
: schemes are popular, they could be generating enough
: traffic to make it worthwhile.
Peter - there is nothing to stop a client caching the knowledge that
anything starting md5 or isbn is unresolvable, I certainly wouldnt go
asking DNS for the server more than once a day!
