Re: [address-policy-wg] Easy to remember IP-address
Gennady, are you trying to say that Google doensn't know the best marketing techniques? P.S: Google has chosen for their DNS-service an easy to remember 8.8.8.8 address ;-)
Remembering domain names and IP addressess are absolutely different things. Domain names are on the user level, IP addressess are not. Let's not make such "dirty hacks" to multi-level networking model :) (I avoid "7-level OSI model" phrase here). So, it's bad idea to build PR/marketing campaign based on "beautifull" IP-address. It's something like beautifull (from user, not engineer view) design of motherboards, gearboxes, etc.. It may be fine, but not more, there is a lot of more important things user should consider about. I completely can't understand, why you so need "easy-to-remember" addressess and don't you have a better way to make your services more user-friendly and PRable.

If you refer to this page http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ it appears that Google's service is free. Not much marketing is needed to offer a free service.

Wrong! Google did not *CHOOSE* that address. Instead they negotiated with Level 3 Communications who had been allocated that address range by ARIN. I suggest that you do the same. Find a memorable address that has already been allocated and negotiate with the company to use it for your DNS service. In fact, I suggest that you investigate 8.9.9.9 and 8.9.10.11 because I know for a fact that the company who has been allocated those addresses, is willing to consider a deal. I don't think that RIPE should change its policy to accomodate this type of request, and I don't think that RIPE should accept requests for specific non-allocated addresses. --Michael Dillon
