Can anyone tell me the answers to the following questions or, better still,
tell me how I can go about finding the answers myself? Ta.

  1.  How many machines are currently connected to AARNet; i.e. have addresses
      of the form "*.au"?

  2.  How many machines are currently connected to the entire Internet?

  3.  How many networks are currently connected together to form the Internet?

I already have approximate answers to all these questions (73,000; 1.3 million;
and 8,000) but I need to be able to defend these figures.

Thanks in advance,
Tim North.
