Issues involving the legacy Root Name Servers will likely become a moot point. Many people are in the process of deploying TRUE Root Name Servers. As I am sure people noted, while people were distracted with the IAHC process, the IANA and Network Solutions, Inc. deployed new TRUE Root Name Servers. I believe they started with 2 new servers and now have 4 that are operational. They do not respond the same, but I am sure they will get the operational kinks worked out soon. They are "TRUE" because they do not also provide Top Level Domain services for .COM, .NET, etc. The legacy Root Name Servers are a hodge podge in this regard because they are largely run by volunteers. The legacy Root Name Servers appear to be evolving to become TLD-only servers for the various TLDs handled by the NSF/InterNIC. Fortunately, the U.S. Government is taking the advice of the various groups advocating new Top Level Domains and they are helping to deploy TRUE Root Name Servers. Part of this is being funded by the InterNIC domain taxes. Therefore, some of the issues surrounding legacy Root Name Servers will likely be moot... -- Jim Fleming Unir Corporation e-mail: [email protected] [email protected] (EDNS/IPv8) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
