Dear All, below is the hostcount for April 2002. The table shows a *decrease* since last month of over 218,000 (or 1,3%) to a total of almost 16,661,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and surrounding areas. The fi domain shows the highest increase for April with approximately 78,000 hosts more than in March. The overall decrease was largely attributable to a loss of around 350,000 hosts from the it domain. Background information and more statistics are available at http://www.ripe.net/hostcount/ - Brief Notes on this Hostcount - - Data for om was reused because no new collection could be done due to AXFR blocks and/or unreachable nameservers. - The data for pt was reused as well since no new remote data could be retrieved. - 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.
