October 1994 Internet Host Count

==============================================================================
Internet Domain Survey Network Wizards October 1994

 

The Domain Survey attempts to discover every host on the Internet by doing
a complete search of the Domain Name System. The latest results gathered
during late October 1994 are listed. For more information see RFC 1296;
for more data see the zone directory on ftp.nw.com, or www.nw.com .
