uDNS Root Name Servers Taking Shape

  • From: Jim Fleming
  • Date: Thu May 29 18:40:59 1997

As promised, it looks like the uDNS[1] Root Name Server
Confederation is taking shape. The founders appear to
be taking a careful approach and are adding more servers.

The eDNS Root Name Server Confederation will remain
stable to continue to serve ISPs. There are 5 servers in
the eDNS Root Name Server Confederation.

The major Root Name Server Confederations are now:

	AlterNIC
	InterNIC
	eDNS
	name.space
	NSI/ISI
	uDNS

When the uDNS Root Name Server Confederation reaches
4 servers, it will be added to the automated reportin system
that helps to keep all of the Root Name Server Confederations
in "synch".
