I would agree that having them in on single block could make for certain types of capture problems. Thus having the RIR assign a "random" block to a root server would be a good thing. As long as it doesn't mandate a renumber of the server should it re-locate. john brown

make sense to do the same thing (but a different block!) for rootname servers. Would it not be possible to coordinate such a block with the other RIRs ?!?
Actually I think it makes much more operational sense to *not* put all the root name servers in one block.
