We sent an engineer to California to discuss this with Paul Vixie, who operates one of the root name servers and is responsible for the software. We intend to follow Vixie's recommendations on hardware, software, and the way in which the root name server is attached to the LINX, which is in fact as you have described above. ... I would expect that Paul Vixies recommendations fall closely in line with RFC 2010 and I would expect that any new root nameservers would fall under this document as far as operational activities are concerned.
Just for the record, we had someone talk to Paul Vixie because RFC 2010 lacks sufficient detail. Yes, his recommendations followed the RFC, but they were much clearer and more specific.
The actual attachment would seem to be best served off a public exchange with the machine on its own prefix and behind its own AS.
Understood and agreed. There is no contradiction between this and our original proposal. -- Jim Dixon VBCnet GB Ltd http://www.vbc.net tel +44 117 929 1316 fax +44 117 927 2015
