Yup, or as richard said - if they upgrade bind - so do they upgrade the
root cache.
Sounds like something the anti rackets people would be interested in.
Does it not. Microsoft may run the worlds OS, but Vixie controls the root
cache. Mr. Vixie should make it quite clear that there are options. But
as has been mentioned before on these lists - vixie is sponsored by the
very people who run the roots, and that sponsorship puts dinner on his
table - so i don't expect much dns activisim from Vixie.
