Re: The Root has got an A record

2005-10-10 21:03:36
I am confused. Why is this (ie, public-root.net
<http://public-root.net>operation) of any concern to IETF?

Even if this happens on "root-server.net <http://root-server.net>", the
appropriate forum is to bring it to ICANN/IANA.

Folks - got some bad news. The Public-Root has aquired an A record - yup
thats right - an A record. Which see below. Have tried to contact Paul
Scheepers - our absent minded root operator - who now hovers very close to
criminal conspiracy - to get him to fix this mistake. Noone is at home at
the inn. Not good. See appened message to Peter Dambier and our
public-root associates.

I have no idea how a root will respond with an A record in it. Should be
interesting - but have no doubt a few things out in the wild have been
broken.

regards
joe

Report this to NANOG and the IETF. Make sure you send them a copy of my
response and the headers of this message. I am holding UNIDT personally
responsible for this technical nightmare.
