Two days ago I obtained domain 44rf.net, for the sole purpose of
supporting amateurs on 44.x.x.x which need more <b>subdomain</b>
support than ampr.org provides (ie, <b>none</b>; Brian Kantor will
not allow NS records in ampr.org). It's trivial to allow subdomains
of 44rf.net which users can <b>self-manage</b>, without screwing up
the parent domain (volunteers/testers welcome). And, with the use
of stub zones, I support (present tense) referrals to ampr.org,
hamwan.net, and other domains in a situation where the root servers
are not available. Eg:<br>

However, notice what happens when I access a domain for which I do <b>not</b>
have a stub zone declaration:<br>

That is, ns1.ae7q.ampr.org does not function as a general-purpose
recursive DNS server.<br>
<br>
Now, if someone else is already doing this ... let me know.<br>
