What part of 'TLD' don't you understand? He's talking about a change to the root zone of the entire DNS for the three most widely-used TLDs. That's information any responsible operator would like to be apprised of in advance of the referenced change. ----------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins(a)netmore.net> // 818.535.5024 voice Effective zone serial number 2000091901, f.root-servers.net (192.5.5.241) will no longer be in the list as authoritative for com, net, org. In its place d.gtld-servers.net (208.206.240.5) will be added as an authoritative server for com, net, org. The new set of servers authoritative for these TLDs will be: A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 198.41.0.4 G.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 198.41.3.101 E.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 207.200.81.69 F.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 198.17.208.67 D.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 208.206.240.5 J.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 198.41.0.21 K.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 195.8.99.11 A.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 198.41.3.38 M.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 210.176.152.18 C.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 205.188.185.18 I.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 192.36.144.133 B.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 203.181.106.5 -----Original Message----- From: Randy Bush [mailto:randy@psg.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2000 6:00 PM To: rdobbins(a)netmore.net Cc: jhawk(a)bbnplanet.com; bverd(a)netsol.com; nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: RE: Root zone change -- d.gtld-servers.net > In this particular case, I can see where information about root nameserver > changes might be of use in figuring out broken name resolution due to > caching issues, etc. indeed! but these date are not about root nameservers. randy

Unnamed Administration sources reported that RJ Atkinson said: > > >You might take a cab while hauling luggage. > > Luggage is permitted anytime on Metro and is > pretty commonly done since National Airport and > Union Station are both on Metro. I wouldn't > suggest trying it during rush hours though. I meant from Silver Spring Metro to the hotel. I take luggage on the Metro regularly. It's a PITA during rush hour, but doable. Key to the Metro are local manners: stay to the right on the escalators, and when the train stop at your platform, stand to the side of the doors to allow people to exit. Also note: there are three airports in the region. Washington National (DCA) has direct Metro service. BWI has weekday MARC-train service <http://www.mtamaryland.com/> with a free shuttle bus to same. Dulles (IAD) is way off to the west, with limited public transport, but there are limo-buses to the Metro & downntown.

I know its, not just telco's who do this. But I've got to wonder, does the PPL's PR department really think no one will notice a 1300 megawatt plant vanishing from the grid? Was the reason so bad, its better for people to speculate reasons instead of saying what happened. "Industry sources said the outage was at the giant Colstrip power plant in Montana, where units 1, 2 and 3, totalling about 1,300 megawatts, tripped off line for unknown reasons. PPL Corp, Colstrip's owner, declined to comment on the plant's status for competitive reasons."

Rosslyn (the part of Arlington VA closest to DC) is also very nice. There are many good pubs and restaurants there. And several hotels are close to Metro stops. You're also about a 1 mile walk from Georgetown, if night-life interests you. (I would recommend not driving into Georgetown - traffic is a real nightmare there.) -- David

I think the point isn't so much that being UScentric is ok/not ok but rather that for many providers, most of their DNS traffic is .com/.net related. That being the case, there seems to be a good case for changes to infrastructure for those TLDs being of interest to at least some NANOG recipients... I know that when I was still wearing my ISP hat, our DNS traffic was about 80% composed of either com or net queries.. --Tim ============================================= Timothy M.

RE: DNS Updates

you have to count the timeout for DNS cache, and you do a dig, there should be an expiration time. Usually the next day after you make a change. DD -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Harper [mailto:harperb@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2000 3:06 PM To: nanog(a)merit.edu Subject: DNS Updates Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anybody knew when most DNS servers update their records with regard to changes in DNS hosts for a domain. I've made changes to my domain, and it looks like only a handful of DNS servers (earthlink being one of them that I could find) have actually made the changes. I've heard that the turnaround time is normally 24-48 hours for the changes to take effect, yet it seems that it takes FOREVER for anything to ever happen when I have NSI update the records for the site. Is there a reference on the net somewhere containing when some of the major DNS servers update their records, or does anybody have any idea why it always takes so long? Many Thanks, Ben
