Yes folks...I think that all of the education that people have been providing is paying off with the "big boys" and I do not mean the large human types.

I assume you are referring to these name servers: gtefsd.com. 172800 NS KANGA.NETOPS.gtefsd.com. gtefsd.com. 172800 NS ROO.NETOPS.gtefsd.com. gtefsd.com. 172800 NS WLV.IIPO.GTEGSC.COM. gtefsd.com. 172800 NS POOH.NETOPS.gtefsd.com. It would seem that the GTE folks have changed their mind. All these name servers now report [a-j].root-servers.net as the name servers for ".". Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
