If you're looking for "OnRamp" wouldn't it be easier to visit
"altavista.digital.com" or "www.excite.com".

The DNS is not a directory service.
The DNS is not a search engine.

Any attempts to coerce the DNS into such roles are doomed to failure, as
the DNS was not designed with these features in mind, and is thus unable to
perform such a role.
