Even though some people do not think they exist... ...Here are the various Root Name Server Confederations that ISPs can choose between. ISPs should only choose one Confederation. Mixing and matching servers from each Confederation is not recommended. Also, ISPs should become more familiar with where the following servers are located relative to your servers. There are many network tools which can help you make this assessment. Please note, the IP address of the K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET server has been changed. That server is now in London, England. ======================================= AlterNIC - http://www.alternic.net ....204.94.42.2......ARAGORN.ALTERNIC.NET. ....204.94.43.1......NS1.BELFAIR.NET. ....204.94.42.1......MX.ALTERNIC.NET. ....207.51.48.15.....NYC.ALTERNIC.NET. ....204.182.105.150..EEK.HTTPD.COM. eDNS - http://www.edns.net ....205.164.53.250...a-root.edns.net. ....207.32.128.64....b-root.edns.net. ....207.134.7.5......c-root.edns.net. ....208.1.127.5......d-root.edns.net. ....207.114.179.21...e-root.edns.net.
