Hi. I'm a root name server operator.

[snip]

I take my root zone from the IANA. Not NSI and especially not from

stargate 0.

Really?

Explain this trace please.

Nice try.

What's your point?

generic-prompt % traceroute f.root-servers.net.

That Mr. Vixie's server loads from a.root-servers.net, which is controlled
by NSI.

If NSI makes changes in that zone, Mr. Vixie's server will reflect them.
