We like this Internet, but we would like one without the "Inter", and possibly without the "net".

- smoyer 14y agoMy thoughts exactly ... and by definition, this RFC is an Intranet (although on a very large scale). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intranet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intranet. I've actually done what this RFC proposes twice before simply by configuring my DNS server carefully. Once I left an open wifi AP at a tradeshow that served our company's website regardless of the domain entered. The other time I specified that all hosts used the address of our proxy-filter so that there was no need to configure a proxy server on your computer. I'd have to think it through a bit but I think these techniques would work on a larger scale (like a country). Perhaps I'll write an article about these unorthodox DNS configurations if people are interested.
