i-DNS.net AkamaizesSM iClientTM
Multilingual Resolution Client a Hit

Online, www.zdii.com, 17 April 2001 -- NEW YORK, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- i-DNS.net International (i-DNS.net), the world's leading Multilingual Internet Solutions Provider, today announced its selection of Akamai Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: AKAM), the leading Content Delivery Service Provider (CDSP), to enhance the performance and reliability of downloads of i-DNS.net's iClient(TM), the free Windows Plug-in that enables the resolution of multilingual domain names worldwide. i-DNS.net will use Akamai's Digital Parcel Service, which leverages Akamai's globally distributed network and core technology to optimize the distribution of digital assets. Akamai's Digital Parcel Service enables the efficient delivery of large digitized objects by strategically placing and delivering digital goods from Akamai's globally distributed network. Through i-DNS.net's use of the service, end users worldwide will experience more reliable downloads of iClient for multilingual domain name resolution, regardless of location and Web congestion caused by Internet bottlenecks.

In January 2001, i-DNS.net's iClient was introduced as a core component for using multilingual domain names registered in VeriSign's (Nasdaq: VRSN) Multilingual Testbed. As a result, i-DNS.net's iClient download pages and their mirrored equivalents at We-Multilingual.com and VeriSign-GRS.com have enjoyed brisk download figures facilitating the need to optimize download times, especially in developing markets where bandwidth is not readily available.

"Akamai is pleased to assist i-DNS.net's efforts to enhance the online experience for end users across the globe, by maximizing the download delivery of its enabling technology," said Mike Campbell, Vice President of Sales, Akamai.

i-DNS.net's iClient is the most comprehensive multilingual domain name resolution software available, supporting all domain names registered in the VeriSign Multilingual testbed. In addition to resolving VeriSign's multilingual domain names, iClient also resolves full multilingual domain names registered with i-DNS.net's registrars.

"With support for new languages constantly being announced, we have made good preparation to ensure users are consistently able to download and enjoy the benefits of our enabling technology," said Michael Ng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of i-DNS.net.

In addition to the Akamaization of iClient, i-DNS.net also announced that Tokyo-based interQ Inc., Asia's first ICANN accredited registrar recently launched their co-branded 'Onamae iClient', designed and customized especially for their customers in the Japanese market.

"By offering resolution via a co-branded 'Onamae iClient', interQ's multilingual domain registration services at onamae.com now offers a one-stop-shop capability from registration to resolution, all under the interQ brand our customers know and trust," said Richard Lindsay, interQ's Executive Director and System Headquarters Director.
