- Define a few seconds. I guarantee that you will find non-obscure, non-rare
- cases which will take well over 30 sec to complete. At current rates of
- growth, coverage will be under 20% of the Internet-at-large for some time
- to come.
-
- It works well for self-managed domains, self-consistent arenas like .de
- which is a heavily structure/managed network. It works poorly in the
- anarchy of the Internet.
-
- lightweight protocols/services win hands down. The community would have
- been better served by a targeted service for mail location/delivery and
- not a catch-all.
