Thankyou for asking.
I do care for the health of the root-servers.
Many say there is only one root but they forget to mention which one.
All root-servers try to keep in sync somehow.
Right now root-servers.net is not in sync with its zone file.
If the reason should be a natural desaster of any kind then
Public-Root would be obliged to offer publishing the zone file,
without asking any undue questions and without making any undue
statements.
Everything my be discussed on a private channel.
I also noticed there is a major difference between the old and
the new zone file. Could this be the reason why there was no
update on the servers?
I tried to load the root-zone file on my personal root-server and
did not live through any problems but right now my server is IPv4
only.
To spare search and debug, here is the diff:
(please forgive the long list)
