Hello list, Jeremy, Doug, We're currently having a discussion on the FRnOG mailing list regarding the laughable announcement of an attack on the DNS root servers by Anonymous. I've kinda hijacked the thread to ask whether people slave the root zone or not, and why if not. Active poster, renowned blogger and AFNIC worker Stephane Bortzmeyer pointed out that it might not be a good idea and submitted the following discussion from 2007 as reference: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2007-August/075895.html Do you still believe slaving the root zone to be a bad idea ? I actually do it on production 8-STABLE boxes here, seems to work well enough.
