>imentally), of MOOs and MUDs (speculatively)--I wonder whether archiving DNS records wouldn't actually provide a more important record of how the net has evolved. Are any such efforts underway? Any thoughts about this?
There are several organizations that keep complete collections of WHOIS records from the NIC for various purposes. MIDS is one of them (in our case for geographical mapping). If you send a list of domains you're interested in, we can send back our archived versions.
Thanks,
John
