Oh but it DOES work if you have an A record under the root of the zone.  I can enter http://oss./ in firefox (not sure why it requires the trailing period?) and it actually loads up my default page.  I probably should NOT have A records in the root of my TLD zones, but the reality is that zone files are pretty flexible and something like this can actually be done.

I suppose *technically* we could have a page at http://geek/  but that would
not be consistent with standard web usage.  http://www.geek/ looks more like
a proper link, and its easy enough to just create it as a domain, plus its
easy for people to remember.

That wouldn't actually work, since geek would be resolved by looking
in DHCP or by concatenating with whatever you've got set up as your
domain or search in resolv.conf. That's why I don't advocate your
additions of the two options in your resolv.conf creator script. It
may lead to unexpected results, like geek -> geek.opennic.glue
