And/or what can be learned from the leaked data?

What websites they have? airkoryo.com.kp. cooks.org.kp. // receips are important friend.com.kp. // facebook clone? :D gnu.rep.kp. // yay at least their software is free kass.org.kp. kcna.kp. kiyctc.com.kp. knic.com.kp. koredufund.org.kp. korelcfund.org.kp. korfilm.com.kp. // movie4k clone at least there it is legal, lol ma.gov.kp. masikryong.com.kp. naenara.com.kp. nta.gov.kp. portal.net.kp. // yahoo clone ;) rcc.net…

For someone who isn't particularly familiar with DNS, what are the implications of this?

That their intranet/internet is apparently pretty small, comprising only a few dozen domains, run off five Nameservers. Also cooks.org.kp. I really want to go to the Facing grand slam popular restaurant , previously the Flavour bases loaded restaurant , but they're really embracing their new name apparently. http://cooks.org.kp/restaurants.php?rID=21

Yeah, looks like someone high up has a food obsession...

Fascinating, that's the complete zone for the whole country? And it's run on 5 servers? (only 5 different IPs mentioned as far as I can tell)

Usually you run NS behind anycast, so the actual number of servers can be vastly bigger. But since this is NK, maybe 5 is reasonable.

Would many people within the country even have access to this intranet?

Red carpet doesn't get redder than this.

That said they had some surprising entries:

> In 2006, the Swedish horror comedy Frostbiten was shown at the festival, the first foreign horror film to ever be shown in North Korea.
