  1. Comment - ICANN moves toward completely opening top-level domains

    (Jun 27, 2008 - 1:01 PM)

    So what about private TLD's people use on internal networks? Things like .local or .private. I've seen a lot of companies that use those. What happens if someone claims .local? Also, I would think potential phishing attacks could be orchestrated by seizing private TLD's. If my company has a server called intranet.mycompany.local and someone decided to register .mycompany.local, they could potentially put a server on the internet called intranet.mycompany.local, and depending on what DNS servers a user was using, they might resolve the IP for the impostor server/TLD. Are there any plans to reserve certain TLD's for private use?
