I see that the specific page describing FNS is
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=2162&group_id=15579.
FNS is a mechanism for using Freenet to map between names and IP
addresses. It is intended as a parallel mechanism to DNS. Unlike DNS,
FNS is not hierarchical; names can be any string.
FNS mappings are stored in Freenet under Freenet search keys of the form
"fns/name/$DATE". Presumably these names are looked up using today's
date; for example, "fns/www.microsoft.com/20010310" would be used to
look up www.microsoft.com on March 10, 2001.
Not only are such mappings first-come, first-served, they are also
apparently individually FCFS for every single day. If someone does
not create documents for their domain name using a given date string,
someone else could step in and in effect take over the domain for that
date; is that the intention?
