Re: Just got on this thing (perhaps very belatedly) - root server trouble?

About 30% of the nameservers which supposedly are authoritative for .COM domains are either: 1) Non-existant (they don't resolve to an IP address) 2) Unreachable or 3) Don't know what "." is (!)
This might say more about the status of Internet reachability at a particular point time and/or from a particular place in the Internet. This exercise doesn't seem like particularly good science... -tjs
