This problem stems from an issue with an NSI server from which the roots, stated above, perform a named xfer. We are taking appropriate actions to prevent this or similar incidents from happening in the future.

Hardware problem? Software problem? Procedural problem? Internal problem? External problem? Was it something you could control or something you could not control? Is this something other servers doing delegations could experience? If so, how could other operators prevent this from happening? Why didn't automated processes pick up the problem? What should be checked and improved so automated processes could detect the problem in the future?
