Dear All,

This is basically a re-send of my earlier submission.

I have added a field in the header section that identifies the provider of the information. This is so that agreements can be established with different providers to support a domain. I.e. BT could use either AT+T or MCI to provide its route into America. Individual corporations may also have their own preferred providers. Regulation would dictate that such customer options are required, but I am not sure whether the proposed method is the best way to do it!

The document can be downloaded from:
