Dear All, below is the hostcount for May 2002. The table shows an increase since last month of over 520,000 (or 3,2%) to a total of almost 17,140,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The cz domain shows the highest increase for May with approximately 150,000 hosts more than in April. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - There are less domains in the count, as it was not possible to retrieve new data for bh, om and ne for a while now. The it data of April, 2002 was reused because the remotely collected data turned out to be corrupted. - Credits - I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount every month by running a local count: ad Joan Marc Lauga am Hrant Dadivanyan at Gerhard Winkler be DNS-BE Registration Office ch Marcel Schneider cy Vasoula Papapetrou cz Jiri Orsag de Peter Koch dk Morten Christensen eg EUN Hostcount Admin es Fco.
