Just got on this thing (perhaps very belatedly) - root server trouble?

Thats fair, I guess. Perhaps some of those $100 in fees for unused
domains could be used to buy more RAM for root server operators.

This has in fact been done. NSI sent me a replacement for F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET:

Hey, that's great.

So are you seeing performance problems from all the bloat that they
are allowing to creep into the tables?
