Hi Gert,
I think what Joao was suggesting was that if the nameserver had been in NASA's v6 block, then rapid renumbering would have made it viable to demand the whole block back from NASA when the nameserver was shutdown. While this is nice in theory, I tend to agree with Randy that it is not very likely in reality for a huge organisation like NASA.
As I read it, it means that the root-server will get its own allocation, and that allocation follows the rootserver around. Sounds surprisingly reasonable to me. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
