Re: the GOV top-level domain
GOV. was missing from A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET sometime yesterday, but the example with a timestampe has scrolled past my scroll buffer....
Apparently it is a "known" bug in bind that crops up from time to time. I haven't been closely monitoring the root name servers so I hadn't noticed it before. -- Sean Donelan, Data Research Associates, Inc, St. Louis, MO Affiliation given for identification not representation

If they know about it you'd think it would take about a half hour or less to write a wee script that could check and set of one of their many network monitor alarms. They should be able to catch and fix such a problem sooner than anyone can post to NANOG.... -- Greg A.

Hmm. I went back into the thread, but can't figure out what example with the timestamp (what bug) is meant here. Someone care to explain?

I did a query identical to the one I included in that message which did show A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET as being lame for GOV., and since I have the time of day in my shell prompt I'd have been able to confirm exactly when it was lame, except example had scrolled beyond the end of my xterm's scroll-back buffer. -- Greg A.
