g.root-servers.net is returning NXDOMAIN for all .com domains, and in
fact the com zone itself. This causes all access to all of .com to
fail, mail to bounce, and much woe overall.
Is there a more appropriate channel for reporting problems of this
sort? If so, perhaps that information could be posted at
http://www.root-servers.net or in another intuitive place.
.net domains seems to be ok.
