More interestingly, how many root servers allow recursive lookup?
a quick looping probe shows that none of them do, nor the gTLD servers (phew!) although L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET and H.GTLD-SERVERS.NET are unreachable from my view. Preparing an accurate list of all TLD servers glued in the root zone will take a little longer.
I was taking about root servers at ALL levels, not just the root.
Perhaps you are using the term "root servers" in a different manner than I am used to. For me: "Root Server" = a DNS server for the zone "." in the Internet. What do you mean by "root servers at ALL levels, not just the root." That construction just does not parse. --bill
