he came up to me and asked what would it cost to get his company their own ULD (upper level domain name)

eg: www.me.darin

I told him thats impossible unless u get your company the legal status of a country... then he asks would it be possible to write your own protocol so we could have something like

w2w.me.darin

lol.... what do i tell him now?

He is practically pushing me onto this... he wants me to take it up as my new assignment...

Well... as far as I know... thats impossible... u'd probably have to pay a lot to get InterNic to do it but then again, if it was possible, why haven't Microsoft done it... Another idea that struck his mind is to strike a deal with a poor african nation or something....

Anyone has some tips on a way out... he is absolutely convinced that I can do something here for him...
