[MR] .museum TDL's are alive

[Michael Edwards]

I saw this over on http://www.slashdot.org while sitting here at work
babysitting a server reboot.  Thought it might be of interest...

live: you can check out http://met.art.museum ,
http://stockholm.music.museum, and http://minnesota.science.museum, for
instance. You can navigate the hierarchical structure of this TLD via
index.museum, or go directly to an index page for a particular second level
domain by going to that domain, e.g., http://art.museum/. Since the .museum
TLD is still in its experimental phase, these domains haven't been delegated
to their registrants yet, but resolve as CNAME records in the TLD root,
pointing at the other domains each site already has. Thus, .museum addresses
can currently only be used as additional addresses for sites that already
have some other domain. MX records haven't yet been set up, so email to
these domains won't yet work."
