hi,
I hope you can help me on a not-so-related-to-DNS question.
does the SLD .gov.* within european countries' ccTLDs identify only central government bodies
Not in the case of gov.ie.
and not local government or other public administrations as well?
See http://www.gov.ie/en/about-us -- "This website is a central portal for online government services, allowing citizens the ability to search and find all government services in a single, convenient manner." There are links to central government departments, local authorities, statutory bodies, state-supported services, and tourist attractions. Some government departments use 3rd-level domains delegated from gov.ie, others use their own SLD. Niall O'Reilly
