[ga] Root-Servers missing: g.root-servers.net and k.root-servers.net

[Peter Dambier <peter@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I guess it might be a local glitch, anycast?

Root-Servers SOA records

soa(".","2008072800","a.root-servers.net","198.41.0.4").
soa(".","2008072701","b.root-servers.net","192.228.79.201").
soa(".","2008072800","c.root-servers.net","192.33.4.12").
soa(".","2008072800","d.root-servers.net","128.8.10.90").
soa(".","2008072800","e.root-servers.net","192.203.230.10").
soa(".","2008072800","f.root-servers.net","192.5.5.241").
error(".","g.root-servers.net","192.112.36.4","no response").
soa(".","2008072800","h.root-servers.net","128.63.2.53").
soa(".","2008072800","i.root-servers.net","192.36.148.17").
soa(".","2008072800","j.root-servers.net","192.58.128.30").
error(".","k.root-servers.net","193.0.14.129","no response").
soa(".","2008072800","l.root-servers.net","199.7.83.42").
soa(".","2008072800","m.root-servers.net","202.12.27.33").


Trying traceroute says

So routing does not know where to find "g".

traceroute to k.root-servers.net (193.0.14.129), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets

 6  k.root-servers.net (193.0.14.129)  64 ms  63 ms  63 ms

"k" has come back or has been redirected.

Kind regards
