Only one of these has anything approaching reasonable @ connectivity, all appear to be off single-point failure circuits (except @ possibly manhattan.com), and all are running in non-RFC2010 mode. @ Karl, I am not sure that uDNS claims to be "better" than eDNS. As I understand the situation, eDNS people are now going to focus on building a more robust version of the BIND software and will be focusing on operational excellance and stability. The uDNS people seem to be more interested in supporting a wide-range of Registration Authorities and new Top Level Domains that are somewhat controversial. There does not seem to be a strong "technical" or "operational" slant to the uDNS movement. I am sure that system administrators will be able to make their decision which Root Name Server Confederation they prefer. With 6 active confederations, companies now have a choice. That is what free market help to create. I look forward to working with you on the new version(s) of BIND, and I also look forward to seeing uDNS take shape. Both groups can make a contribution to the Internet. -- Jim Fleming Unir Corporation http://www.Unir.Corp
