Even single NAT is not trivial when a few hundred thousands of active users are behind it, just because of the sheer scale. For a major part of the users "The Internet" == "The Web", and applications like Skype use any available transport i

If you really want to play with something in the meantime, you can check out the 6D: http://www.get6d.com/code-on-github That is the most self-contained codebase I had seen so far out of the few I studied (OneSocialWeb.com and DiSo-projec

It would be fun to have this kind of info standardized into its own DNS resource record type. By doing this in addition to what you currently do, you could unlock a much larger market in a long term, I think.

When I type "www.google.com" into the search string of my search engine and hit "I feel lucky" then it gives exactly the same result (and that's how I saw a few people navigate to sites). So if we go with the path of UI simplification, we c
