The table shows an increase since last month of over 550,000 (or 3,4%) 
to a total of almost 16,830,000 hosts in the DNS in Europe and
surrounding areas.

The fr domain shows the highest increase for March with approximately
547,000 hosts more than in February.

Background information and more statistics are
available at

- Brief Notes on this Hostcount -

Data for es, pt, om, ne and ir was reused because no full new collection 
could be done due to AXFR blocks and/or unreachable nameservers.

I would like to thank all people who help me to create the hostcount
every month by running a local count:
