well, not speaking for the rest of them... we seem to be answering every legal/legitimate query that we receive.

why do you think your problem has -anything- to do with the root server system?

I've got a dozen or so domains with NSI, and their story is they lost 18 servers to 'a crash' earlier today. Apparently all fixed now - things just need to propagate.

-------------- Hi Bill,

the root is fine.

I would like to know what domains. At least some of them.

[ SNIP ] Folks, these [this and "new worm?" ] are clearly on-topic operational posts. If we could up the content on any outage like assertions, I know a lot of us would appreciate the on topic post -and- the extra information. Thanks for the early warning, regardless. After the global sound of coffee mugs hitting the floor, it only takes us a few minutes to look into these things. The extra data helps.
