well, not speaking for the rest of them... we seem to be answering every legal/legitimate query that we receive.

why do you think your problem has -anything- to do with the root server system?

------------ I've got a dozen or so domains with NSI, and their story is they lost 18 servers to 'a crash' earlier today. Apparently all fixed now - things just need to propagate.

I would like to know what domains. At least some of them. I have had a look at ;; SERVER: 216.168.228.32#53(NS59.WORLDNIC.com.) ;; SERVER: 216.168.225.200#53(NS60.WORLDNIC.com.) I dont know what they serve. They know the root, but that is all I could find. They dont know their own name.
