The registrars aren't returning anything to non-authoritative recursors, the roots are. And the common, proper, expected behavior is that when all the NSs are located for domain.tld, all the NSs are eligible for first use. > And I think that the root servers follow the lead of the registrars, > no? I wouldn't say that. There is an order to the way the NSs are listed at the roots; whether in a plain-text zone file or in a relational DB, there is clearly some cosmetic "awareness" of the order in which the records were saved at the registrar. But that doesn't matter as far as the traffic each NS should see. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
