In the process of switching ISP's, I sent some updates off to InterNIC last friday. The new SOA's are in place on all root servers except for f.root-servers.net. Mail to hostmaster () internic net yields no response (who knows, they could be using f.....)
handler@jumpgate ~$ check_soa com. | grep F F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET has serial number 1997021900 hostmaster () internic net is only for updating your data on the master root servers. The master root has performed the updates, but F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET hasn't loaded new "COM." data since Wednesday of last week. (Sorry, Paul).
So who runs F, and how do I politely ask them to check and see if they picked up their updates last Friday. Contact listed for root-servers.net is hostmaster () internic net.
There currently isn't a designated interface for contacting the root nameserver operators in case of external problems. Fortunately, it hasn't been a major problem yet. The default reflex seems to be to send mail to NANOG, which has worked so far. It would be nice to have a designated mailing list / web page... <URL:http://www.root-servers.net/> and <operators () root-servers net>. There could even be <a-operator () root-servers net> through <n-operator () root-servers net> to reach admins of specific servers. While I'm on that topic, it would be nice to have a mailing list for technical issues relating to root nameservers, given that this really isn't a NANOG topic. If there isn't one yet, I'd be more than happy to set one up somewhere. (Anyone who suggests edns-operators will be promptly laughed at.) -- Michael Handler <handler () sub-rosa com> Washington, D.C. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
