This worked before today. From today, it still works (in the sense that it will still result in a named.root file which is sufficiently complete in most situations for a nameserver to be able to send a priming query) but it won't contain a complete set of glue.

So, if you're in the habit of doing

dig . NS >named.root

you would ideally change that habit to something like

curl -O ftp://rs.internic.net/domain/named.root

If you're willing to use an EDNS0 query, this works: dig +bufsize=1400 . NS > named.root I'm not sure if that's better or worse. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/
