GOV. was missing from A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET sometime yesterday, but the
example with a timestampe has scrolled past my scroll buffer....
Apparently it is a "known" bug in bind that crops up from time
to time.
I haven't been closely monitoring the root name servers so I hadn't
noticed it before.

If they know about it you'd think it would take about a half hour or
less to write a wee script that could check and set of one of their many
network monitor alarms. They should be able to catch and fix such a
problem sooner than anyone can post to NANOG....

Hmm. I went back into the thread, but can't figure out what example
with the timestamp (what bug) is meant here. Someone care to explain?
Maybe I missed that message?

I did a query identical to the one I included in that message which did
show A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET as being lame for GOV., and since I have the
time of day in my shell prompt I'd have been able to confirm exactly
when it was lame, except example had scrolled beyond the end of my
xterm's scroll-back buffer.

We're NSI. We don't have to care.
