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@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 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
