the root servers are not currently suffering from load (my own server does about 100 queries per second, which is about 10% of the capacity of my little 66Mhz/64MB BSD/OS machine). the goal here is to reduce load on the wide area net rather than on the root servers themselves. and also to increase the likelihood that any given host can reach a root server during times of wide- scale connectivity problems (which seem to be more common lately?)

For security and stability reasons (aswell as political) they should not be run by a single organisation.
they never have been.
The Mannings proposal of a single domain, seems to me like the first step... --Peter

I think there may be a bit of confusion here. There is a plan to compress the root cache, making it appear to be a single, multi-homed machine. Then, there is the other entity... EP.NET, which is being soundly thrashed by operators in the know. They have -NO- relationship to each other. -- --bill

Nope. Mr. IANA wanted it to appear to be different machines. We're just moving them all into a single domain and giving them short base names. This will result in nearly the same maximum number of root servers as your original proposal.
Erik Sherk and I have arranged for internic to be one hop off of suranet's router on mae-east. Additionally, expect to see some changes in the root servers configuration on namedroppers as soon as I can dig out of my large amount of mail that I recently have received... Mark
