Hi Marc, thanks. It is strange. The A.ROOT-SERVER.net can see it no problem... It must just be still slowly propogating out there. There are just over 19 million com domains now, so I suppose its going to get slower and slower..... Thanks for taking the time to have a look at the problem. Appreciate it. I'll wait for a day or so and see what happens I guess. :-) cheers Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Schneiders" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 1:18 PM Subject: Re: [Q] Period from registration to traceroute success?
