"Furthermore, at least one large ISP in Europe is doing the same
thing, redirecting root server traffic to their own servers. "

Which large European operator has implemented this solution? I would love
to see a talk at the next NANOG about how this works and how it performs.

Best Regards,

Martin

I tried to look, but I can't seem to find circleid.com; perhaps bestbuy is intercepting my dns traffic :slight_smile:

It's quite possible these days. :slight_smile:

I gave you a better URL, but circleid.com resolves for me.
