RE: The Root has got an A record

["Hallam-Baker, Phillip" <pbaker at verisign.com>]

I am really confused as well. An organization calling itself 'public-root' that does not provide the breifest description of what it is about, from their front page:

 

'This area is available for restricted users and only accessable through limited IP numbers.'

 

For those of us who do not read nanog please prefix discussions about wildcat roots as 'JOKE' or 'HOAX' so we don't waste time on them.

I am confused. Why is this (ie, public-root.net operation) of any concern to IETF?

Even if this happens on "root-server.net", the appropriate forum is to bring it to ICANN/IANA.

Folks - got some bad news.  The Public-Root has aquired an A record - yup
thats right - an A record.  Which see below.  Have tried to contact Paul
Scheepers - our absent minded root operator - who now hovers very close to
criminal conspiracy - to get him to fix this mistake.  Noone is at home at
the inn.  Not good.  See appened message to Peter Dambier and our
public-root associates.

I have no idea how a root will respond with an A record in it.  Should be
interesting - but have no doubt a few things out in the wild have been
broken.

regards
joe

Report this to NANOG and the IETF.  Make sure you send them a copy of my
response and the headers of this message.  I am holding UNIDT personally
responsible for this technical nightmare.
