------- Blind-Carbon-Copy To: nobody Subject: F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET is no longer open for AXFR of COM, NET, or ORG Date: Mon, 03 May 1999 15:12:05 -0700 From: Paul A Vixie <vixie@bb.rc.vix.com> (sent to the NANOG, IETF, and NAMEDROPPERS lists to catch everybody who cares.) Today we (Internet Software Consortium, Inc) received a verified request from the US-DOC asking that we disable public zone transfers for the COM, NET and ORG zones from now until July 23. This is part of a controlled experiment designed to uncover the actual uses and users of this information. ISC recognizes US-DOC as one of the parties authorized to make such a request, and so we have complied with it as of Mon May 3 14:57:39 1999 (Pacific). All users who have been fetching the COM, NET, or ORG zones from F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET should during this interrim period contact Network Solutions for access. Unless instructed otherwise by US-DOC, IANA, or ICANN, we plan to restore public access to the COM, NET, and ORG zones from F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET during the morning of July 23, 1999.

Anyone got a URL for the request to NETSOL. Sort of hard to find on their marketing website now. At 03:12 PM 5/3/99 -0700, Paul A Vixie wrote:

I would just like to make one quick note here: Netsol emailed a "we're reconsidering denied applications for zone file access" message to me a week ago asking me to reapply, and I did so, and this morning got an approval on my reapplication for R&E purposes access. So it appears they have, indeed, changed the policies... -george william herbert gherbert@crl.com This is not the disclaimer you were looking for. Move along.
