Ok So what, I am located in Turkiye..Can Any one simplify the whole stuff in plain English? Evren Demirkan
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: ; <<>> DiG 9.1.3 <<>> -t any . ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 37356 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 14, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;.
