Root DNS Server Issues?

We seem to be getting name resolution errors when we query any
of the root servers, and this just started a hour or so ago.

Anyone else noticing a problem?

Hi, John.

Everything looks OK here. I tried a few DNS traces and queries without
any errors.

The web status pages for the F root server shows traffic dropping to zero
about an hour ago. I don't know if this is an artifact of the measurement
system, or something happened.

I don't know if the other root server operators have any publically
available status pages.

never mind, I didn't read the notes at the bottom of the page. The MRTG
graphs are no longer being updated.

Here is for L, F also seems to reply. Tested from 8 different
places on the net. OTW Transit splay on the test was 8 different
providers.

Can you give a sample of the "errors" you are seeing?

Got a sample DIG line ??

e.root-servers.org seems to have a page, but it also seems to show no recent
data/information.
f.root-servers.org stopped updating their information some months ago.
