<pre wrap=""><!---->
The DNS class feature has been unused since the demise of the Chaosnet
protocols in the 1980s. The DNS standards still reserve bits for the
class number, but attempts to use any class other than IN won't work
because nobody's software has used other classes for over 20 years.

This, I am fully aware of this from the very onset..!!!!. <br>
I am saying this in all my presentations.<br>
Only the dig tool currently implements a query wiht the class field to
a limited<br>
extent that works on current DNS servers.<br>
<br>
My point is reactivating this "forgotten parameter" could be done,<br>
with little conceptual difficulties and a sofware programming effort<br>
that is very small in comparison to the huge benefits in all terms :<br>
economics, governance, scientific,<br>
it opens a new dimension. <br>
