Peter,
you can call them root servers, but actually they are servers listed
in the NTIA root. So they are TLD servers used as by the ISP as root
servers. This only seem to mean that the concept of root is not used.
This is a TLD forest. Experimentation we carried with dot-root made
us to understand that this can be very complex but to work well. This
is why we called this TLD forest description the "authoritative root
matrix". But this may be only a concept that many people
automatically build and mutually cross-check. The important
information are not the actual IP addresses, but the way to obtain them.
This is what the Chinese say. Users do not navigate anymore under the
ICANN root. But they do not create a root. They just do not use a
root anymore. This closes the dispute between authoritative and
alternative roots.

was obvious and quite easy to foresee.
Addressing the requirements of a very real
international multi-root environment is also not
all that hard and will likely naturally evolve.
To best of my knowledge, that there are no new Chinese root-servers -
despite what the press says. And at least we have not seen a drop in
queries to our anycast instance in Beijing yet so there even seems to
be data to support that...
But what do I know...

Hi Curtis,
at least we can see these domains. Can you see them too, on the
nameservers you are using?
