Well, let's rephrase that. Anyone can't get a TLD zone? And no, you are the man. :)
But back to the root servers. Are you agreering with me that if I announce F and I root's netblocks inside of my own network that everyone would be ok with that?
I'm not involved with policy at ISC or RIPE, but I would expect that if someone hijacked their netblocks they would have something to say about it.
C'mon Joe, straight answer on that one. :)
That's as straight as it gets :-)
Thanks! Much appreciated. What could F or I do if an operator were advertising those blocks internally? Consider them no different than blackholes. It's the same concept. The point is that there's little reason to believe that this couldn't be done by any operator or other entity (OpenDNS?) technically, legally and legitimately.
