Says you, the grand high holy keeper of the ONE TRUE ROOTS. Ha! >> hp.manhattan.com. 172800 A 199.103.194.137 >Aggregated by (and complete path from) Open Advisors. Appears to be >multi-homed.

You really should check your lines Karl, a multihomed server on a single channel ISDN, I don't think so... >**** NOTICE: >THIS NAMESERVER IS RUNNING WITH RECURSION Hmm... the name.boot file has it set off. I'll check it out.

Well, I guess your lines came back up! <grin> >**** NOTICE: >THIS NAMESERVER IS ALSO RUNNING WITH RECURSION ENABLED could be. AND IS NOT A TRUE ROOT. <yawn> >I rest my case.

Yah, we really need RFC2010 servers to run 1/2% of the internet - NOT! Seriously, our schedule calls for 5 dedicated, non-recursive servers up by next week this time, with T1 of better connectivity. We plan full RFC2010 by the time we reach 5% visibility. Feel free to market your system's RFC2010 compliance as an absolute must for servers that handle a fraction of a percent of the internet's DNS requests, I'd be surprised if any of the "internet aware" people on these lists you are posting to care... Take care, Ron Kimball for the uDNS council - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
