Yes.. I'm hearing tons of complaints about this.. and its still broken at this time, [f jkl] root-servers.net are not correctly responding correctly and causing a lot of problems on the Internet as a whole. Many people have sent mail to NetSol about the issue.. but no statments have come from them (that I have seen).. Anyone have any information? -Steve On Wed, Nov 11, 1998 at 10:20:18AM -0800, Marc Slemko wrote:

f.root-servers.net is giving non-authoritative "sorry, I don't do that, here are the nameservers for .com" responses.
I have sent mail to the InterNIC, but just in case you were wondering why you are seeing what you may be seeing. Symptoms of this problem are being told by your resolver that various domains do not exist once in a while.
