Hi Evren Demirkan,

there has been for about one year a turkish root-server:

l.public-root.com

That server did not resolve the ICANN root but The Public-Root.

Until some ISPs in Turkey started selling turkish language toplevel domains
nobody noticed because in the legacy domains ICANN and Public-Root are
compatible.

As I am comparing the root-servers to check compatibility I had to find out
sooner or later that l.public-root.com was drifting away from the rest of
our root-servers.

I found out that l.public-root.com was not only missing updates and losing
compatibility with ICANN but it started servicing a completely new root:

*.united-root.com

Except for the root-servers themselves and the names of the root-servers
united-root.com did run old Public-Root data.

You can check from which root your DNS comes by asking this simple querey
using dig on linux or unix:

dig -t any .

My dig, in the Public-Root, answers:

If you are in the ICANN root your answer should be:
