root zone archive

Hi all,

Is anybody here aware of a complete or partial archive of root zone data that is older than the set available at DNS-OARC? OARC's archive has nothing older than July 2009.

I'm particularly interested in zone data that describes the build out of the original root zone NS set to nine servers in mid-1994, the renaming under the ROOT-SERVERS.NET domain and the subsequent assignment of J, K, L and M.

I realise this is a bit of a long shot, but the answer's always no if you don't ask

[I'm asking the same question on a small handful of lists; apologies if you get multiple copies of this.]

I covered most of the root changes up to 2002 on a DNS timeline.

wouldn't that info be in the files included with bind-0.x

have fun
