In total 76 instances of a root-server of which are 25 in the EU, 26 in the US, and 50 outside EU/US.
And this network is growing and growing
I'm very happy about this posting ;-) 76 copies of an single database source managed by an organization outside from europe and controlled by the U.S. DOC. Great! When it comes the master corrupt all AnyCast servers will use this information. Very great and very stable! ORSN is an DNS system with all the same information provided by ICANN. The difference: We have our own managed and independent database!!! In few days you will found an tool to compare the ORSN database with the ICANN root servers in realtime on our homepage. Some people wrote (not here): "ORSN is not transparently enough!" Sorry! But I must laughing about this words. We do provide all needed information for interested users. Peoples must read our homepage carefully before any can write this. Notice: The independent mode of ORSN was implemented to disable the automatic synchronization of the database.
