Re: WP: Attack On Internet Called Largest Ever

Root servers wouldn't make their zones unavailable. Loosing the root servers would make their parent zones unavailable. end users should worry about their local name servers and the TTL's for them. Please make sure you understand the difference between Root-Servers and Non-Root Servers. Its important john brown Le Geek On Tue, Oct 22, 2002 at 07:58:45PM -0400, batz wrote:

The only useful recommendations I can think of to give to regular users would be to increase the TTL's on their zones to longer than a day if they are worried about root servers making their domains unresolvable, maybe expect occasional delays in name resolution when surfing the net, and to remind them to ensure their machines are locked down.

Any others?
