In a continuing effort to enhance service to the community, Network Solutions has added another gTLD server, f.gtld-servers.net (207.159.77.18) at PAIX, Palo Alto, CA. The server will be operation in the next couple of days. This server will serve the .com, .net and .org domains only. _____________________________________ David H.

1. As the operator of F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, which is also at PAIX, I'm curious to know whether your reselection of the letter "F" in your host's name indicates a relationship between your "F" and my "F"? 2. In the past, changes in the COM delegation have been made via IANA. Since IANA was not involved in this announcement, should I interpret this as a unilateral move on NSI's part? 3. Does NSI still think of COM, NET, and ORG as its intellectual property? And is this belief bolstered in some way by the ICANN announcements? -- Paul Vixie La Honda, CA "Many NANOG members have been around <paul@vix.com> longer than most." --Jim Fleming pacbell!vixie!paul (An H.323 GateKeeper for the IPv8 Network)
