You can find out for yourself (see below). I usually use the F root since I know the ISC has a long-term policy of allowing zone transfers. Some people like to slave the root zone on their recursive servers instead of using the root zone hints. This is not the same as looking or feeling like a root server. If you want to actually look and feel like a root server, talk to ICANN who are very liberal in allowing sites to host instances of the L root. http://blog.icann.org/2012/03/l-root-in-your-pocket/ http://dns.icann.org/lroot/infocollect/ $ for i in `jot -c 13 97`; do echo === $i; dig axfr . @$i.root-servers.net | grep failed; done === a ; Transfer failed. === b === c === d ; Transfer failed. === e ; Transfer failed. === f === g === h ; Transfer failed. === i ; Transfer failed. === j ; Transfer failed. === k === l ; Transfer failed. === m ; Transfer failed.
