Re: g.root-servers.net - U.S. DoD Network Information Center

From: "Sean Donelan"

So does anyone know what happened to the US DOD NIC during this event? They provide one of the root servers, but they disappeared off the net for much of this event.

My personal opinion, though it doesn't account for much, is that they were testing out the new ways one can serve DNS from a MS-SQL database. Then again, they could just be smart and be paranoid. If I had a private network where security was required to be high, I'd have pulled the plug until the storm was over. Why take chances? Jack Bates BrightNet Oklahoma
