As a first step, a new version of the root zone is now available with two additional servers. --jon. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are now two more root servers root servers serving ".". The names of these two machines are: j.root-servers.net 198.41.0.10 k.root-servers.net 198.41.0.11 The latest root servers list will be found at: ftp://rs.internic.net/domain/named.ca Checksum: MD5 (named.ca) fca1cea22445a95ac66c50d58d345d35 These machines are temporarily housed at NSI till their suitable home is found. Two additional machines will placed temporarily at ISI in the very near future. All four will eventually be moved to various international locations that are "close" to the center of the internet. All four new machines (j, k, l, and m) will only run "." in a non-recursive mode. This is being done as an experiment with running "." on separate machines from the existing iTLD's. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jon Postel Internet Assigned Numbers Authority c/o USC - ISI, Suite 1001 4676 Admiralty Way Marina del Rey, CA 90292-6695 Talk: +1-310-822-1511 Fax: +1-310-823-6714 EMail: [email protected] @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ -- Jim Fleming Unir Corporation e-mail: [email protected] [email protected] (EDNS/IPv8) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
