Seems irresponsible to me that a root-server (or other critical DNS provider) would engage in a peering war to the exclusion of workable DNS.

I've brought this up before and the root servers are not really an IANA function IIRC. There's not much governance over them, other than what's on root-servers.org. I think a case could be made that C is in violation of the polices on that page and RFC 7720 section 3. Basically none of the root servers want to change this and thus it's never going to change. DNS will fail and select another to talk to, and things will still work. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
