[AusNOG] .IO Operators

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

It seemed pretty clear that it was third-level domains (i.e. *.com.io, *.
net.io), which are only available to residents, which must have at least
one DNS server hosted locally?

Second level domains (*.io) are available to non-residents, and do not need
a server hosted locally.

Cheers,

DG

 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
