Apologies for taking this thread perhaps even further off-topic. VeriSign is planning to anycast J root beyond the 13 sites where it is (or will be shortly) co-located with the com/net name servers. Currently under-served areas are particularly appealing as possible locations. Briefly, we'll supply the hardware for a J root instance and manage it if you supply the space, power and bandwidth. No fees are involved. Interested ISPs should please contact me privately. Matt -- Matt Larson <mlarson@xxxxxxxxxxxx> VeriSign Naming and Directory Services
