I obviously can resolve @ myself since I go to my own DNS, not needing a root server. But @ statistically, people have an even chance of hitting the Heretics. @ Henceforth, the need to update it. I like the idea of a TXT record or a @ page for contacts at www.root-servers.net Seem like logical solutions. @ I also like the idea of using TXT records and the DNS system in general for more "whois-like" functions. If you ask me, I will provide more detailed proposals. I will not post them to this list to keep the traffic to a minimum. As for as "Heretics", I think the servers above are going to be RFC 2010 compliant. It may not be good to resort to name calling until you have read 2010. @@@@@@@@@@ Network Working Group B.
