The NIC is the master server for the .COM zone (as well as >all the other non-country domains). No argument here. But, if a machine with IP addressibility which I establish has no intentions of being addressed via a domain name, but only an IP address, then I can call the machine whatever you want. I can call it "shithead", since, after all, I don't expect to get e-mail address to "someone@shithead", nor to I expect people to be able to "telnet shithead" or "ftp shithead". The mere fact that the NIC has no place on their IP-address request form (template INTERNET-NUMBER) indicates to me that a machine on the internet need not have a NIC-assigned domain name.
