have we figures about the frequency of changes in the root file? The serial # changes twice a day. The contents hardly as far as I can see. Always wanted to check that, but since it is of interest on a substantial duration never did. It is very easy to check. Just pull over the zone file at a regulary base and do a diff. The only serious figure I have is that ICANN decided that three months and half to update major ccTLD secondaries was OK (after KPNQuest). Document your figures. Note that ns.eu.net was never dead, so I wonder what the relevance is anyway. jaap PS. I wonder how soon someone will tell me I shouldn't be feeding ...
