root servers followup

[matthew () scruz net (Matthew Kaufman)]

This problem is definitely occuring on h.root-servers.net at the
present time as documented below (similar to results that I see just
arrived in my mailbox from <jh () yahoo com>. However, an earlier log
from our support department shows that d.root-servers.net and
possibly e.root-servers.net were also having this problem within
the past 60-90 minutes. (also see below)
