Why should only misspelt domains lookups go to him?
If nameservers found the additional root-NSs during the time they were
announced, they would have started to using them as much as all the
other root-ns, at least until they had enough data to make the RTT
decisions
on which are preferred, no?

|How did this happen anyway? InterNIC? Postel? Doesn't this error
imply that

root

resources

|Maybe we can get bilateral peering with BBN since we have a root
server,
