 You can find out for yourself (see below). I usually use the F root since

Query about mirroring Root DNS Server

2012-07-06 Thread Gaurav Kansal
Dear All,

 

Somewhere I heard that one of the Root Servers allows you to take a zone
copy of that, so that if you want to look and feel about Root DNS servers,
you can do so.

Is it true?

If yes then can anyone please guide me which Root DNS Server is allowing for
the same?

 

 

Thanks n Regards,
