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

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter and all,

  It may be that ICANN is doing so maintanance on G & K root
servers.  But they are clearly offline or not reachable.  This isn't
a big problem however.  Certainly they should be in process of
implimenting DNSSEC, and perhaps that is why G & K are
in this status presently.  In any event, that would be the SSAC's
call I believe.

  So perhaps if your curious enough, you might want to contact
ICANN's SSAC and try to find out what the reason is.
