Broken networks would just use the ones they can reach. Moving the root-servers isn't a good option anyway since lots of Bind setups are distributed with a . hints file containing A records for the root-servers, and these hints files are updated probably less frequently than bogon filters. Since the root-servers have been reduced to refering queries to the gtld-servers and nstld servers and perhaps others, these latter servers would be the ones to move that would cause no pain for networks that work, and immediate notification and motivation to fix filters for networks with outdated filters. I don't suppose there's even a slim chance of this happening? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *[email protected]*| I route System Administrator | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
