[UA-discuss] Ideas of Publicly Accessible Test Suite of domain names

[Brent London]

Domain Test is a tool that we made to help with this. It's accessible at
http://domaintest.foo and on ~120 other TLDs (including some IDNs).

It's similar to what you propose, except that it by design can only work
with valid domain names. (For obvious reasons, we can't have an invalid TLD
point to a hosted test suite.)

Check out the documentation link from the page above to learn how it works
and what domains are compatible with it.
