Very interesting..
http://www.dnso.org/constituency/gtld/gtld.html:
: Root servers.
: The list of 13 current root servers
: ftp://ftp.rs.internic.net/domain/named.root
: The map of 13 current root servers
: http://www.wia.org/pub/rootserv.html
: IAB Technical Comment on the Unique DNS Root
: http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2826.txt
http://www.icann.org/committees/dns-root/y2k-statement.htm
: The root of the Internet namespace consists of a single file, the root
: zone file, which describes the delegations of the top level domains and
: the associated records necessitated by the DNS protocol to implement those
: delegations. Currently, this file is maintained by Network Solutions
: Incorporated of Herndon, Virginia, USA and is made available to the 12
: secondary servers from the primary a.root-server.net. Change control of this
: file is held by the IANA with changes, typically modifications of the name
: servers for top level domains, being made approximately once or twice a week.
I can't find anything that supports your comments at open-rsc.org, and I'm
going to assume that you threw in dnso.net as a joke, since a) you own the
domain, b) it looks like it was written by a 14 year old and c) nobody would
take a site seriously that said it was "moving to a more dynamic architecture,
using MS FrontPage2000".
