If a great thunderbolt from heaven descended upon ICANN and took out 13 DoC controlled root servers, would your zones still work? Joanna

I understand you to mean any root zone not the DoC controlled root zone but pinning it down to dependancies on specific servers doesn't really work. The legacy root servers are in the ORSC root zone because they still do double duty for some tlds (Swedens .se) and, I think, a bunch of in-addr.arpa zones. The best terminology is perhaps "Open Roots" as in "Open Source"; it's a similar concept. -- Clique \Clique\, n. [F., fr. OF. cliquer to click.
