Hi Roberto, The IANA site provides some information around how to set up a root server.IANA — Domain Name Services | | | | | | | | | | | IANA — Domain Name Services | | | | There is also here: http://www.root-servers.org/ >From my experience, many ISPs here in the US just run a DNS caching service >and sometimes just ignores the TTL.

It seems they adjust the TTL to 30 mins to 4 hours, to reduce the outbound UDP calls required for the update There were also some attempts in the past to break away from the approved TLDs -- there were a couple of companies that set up their own root servers and sold "realnames" instead of the usual TLD.

Hi Mike, I'm only asking for interest in joining a learning process, not really about any commitment to set up a root server. And for further clarification: I'm not talking of DNS servers for subdomains, which a big firm might want to do. I'm talking of alternatives to the ICANN root server. At least two already exist that I know of, the OpenRoot initiative maintains one, and China does too, I am told.
