As mentioned in the 5 year plan with the NSF and as has been discussed with IANA, there is now a gtld only DNS server that is serving com, net, and org. The name of the new machine is: j.gtld-servers.internic.net 198.41.0.21 It will be running in experimental mode while we ascertain operational impact. At some future point, we will be bringing up other machines to better distribute the load for .tld-related lookups. This machine will be temporarily housed at NSI till a suitable home is found. _____________________________________ David H. Holtzman Senior Vice President of Engineering Network Solutions, Inc.
