You can also add on the .bit firefox extension to your browser. @ http://namecoin.com
Nice. Is there a separate thread for that? Is it open source? Namecoin.com looks real good now!

Why not install dnsmasq and use the server config option to redirect all .bit requests? its a simple one liner and then you get .bit resolution for your entire machine/network not just web browsing.. i've been using it for over a year, works great.
e.g. server=/bit/78.47.86.43
If you dont have anywhere to run dnsmasq, buy a raspberry pi and set it up on that.

Nice, thanks--I just registered a .bit last night, hasn't propagated yet. You can try dns.bit, its an easy one to get to.
Cool! Can you give us a few dot.bit extensions to try it out?
Want the source code? Fat chance.
Hm ... I wouldn't dare use that on a system that I might have a Bitcoin wallet on (or for anything other than a browsing-only VM perhaps), but that is need to see that you were able to hack it to make it work for .bit / namecoin.

Looking for testers and spreading the word about this firefox with .bit resolving built in. Here is the story...
So I find this alt TLD company http://www.unifiedroot.com/
They make a closed source version of firefox called sundial:
http://www.sundialbrowser.com/en/download/other/?win32
I dl the linux version and see it is resolving all of their .trailer .dickhead tlds. No plugins, extensions, proxy settings etc.
So I grep the src/bins for tlds. nothing. then for their TLD roots.
http://www.unifiedroot.com/index.php/en/Technology/Root-System-and-Caching-Servers
Bingo.
Extra file libbind.so has them all internally and it is being called by standard libnspr4.so.
I binary search replace with one of the namecoin DNS mirrors:
perl -pi -e 's/93.88.144.138/94.231.81.244/g' libbind.so
Repeat to remove all of their root servers.
Restart firefox, go to nx.bit etc, works great.
Want the source code? Fat chance.
