dot xxx live or not?

Mailman List Mirror (Read Only)

About a month ago it was announced that the xxx sTLD had "gone live" i.e.
been added to the IANA root zone
http://www.domainnamenews.com/registries/xxx-live-root-servers/9191

I recall checking at the time that http://icmregistry.xxx worked

Now it doesn't. Anyone know what's going on?

The TLD ".xxx" works. Names like sex.xxx or icmregistry.xxx have
apparently been deleted. nic.xxx or about.xxx are still there in the
DNS and the Web site http://about.xxx/ works.

TLD is delegated and alive.

You might be interested in this cool new technology called multicast.

You might be interested in this cool new technology called multicast.

in this context you may be probably talking about anycast.

there are few details but without digging in too much, there are at
least two name servers for which the packets are flowing through the
same exact route and end point as12041.xe-6-0-4.ar2.iad1.us.nlayer.net
