I work with MGCP at work. Let's see....
From the Networking Working Group
RFC 2705 was the first one which is now considered obsolete.
RFC 3435 was the 2003 update which is the current 1.0 release
Media Gateway Control Protocol or Multimedia Gateway Control Protocol
is essentially a TDM to VoIP relay.
as far as two other other anes, i only know it as either Media Gateway Control Protocol or Multimedia Gateway Control Protocol. Some people talk about it in terms of a Media Gateway and User Agent but those are components. I mostly just know it as "the current big fucking headache"

For Christian's question about DNS servers, watch Dan Kaminsky's talk from Shmoocon 2006 (http://www.shmoocon.org/2006/presentations.html) where he discusses the work he has done identifying ALL DNS servers on the Internet and using that information to find out a good estimate of how many people have been infected by the Sony rootkit. It is an excellent talk. Take a look at his personal site (http://www.doxpara.com/) and the site for his site for graphing the Internet (http://www.opte.org/). I'm not sure if he makes the information available for all those DNS servers, but you could always e-mail him directly and ask.

MGCP was defined in RFCs 2705 & 3435. It is also know as H.248 and Megaco via http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid7_gci817224,00.html

I'm not so sure abou the Megaco and H.248 naming. Don't get me wrong, it's also known by those, but they aren't the things actually defined in either the 2705 or the 3435 spec. Megaco is defined in a different IETF spec altogether.
