Dear All, below is the hostcount for November 1999. The table shows an increase since last month of over 190,000 (or 1.9%) to a total of around 10,215,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The fr domain shows the highest increase for November with approximately 540,000 (!) hosts more than in October. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/statistics/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - The large increase for fr was due almost entirely to the addition of a single large domain. - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by counting hosts locally: ad Joan Marc Lauga am Edgar D Danielyan at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy Vasoula Papapetrou cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen eg Network Operator es Susana Gayo.
