Hi Orange, > I remember the official debut date of M-Root is Aug 22, 1997. > In the root hint file: > <http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/etc/namedb/root.cache.diff?r1=1.7&r2=1.8>
I'm not sure where the address 198.32.65.12 mentioned in that hints file ... -; temporarily housed at ISI (IANA) +; housed in Japan, operated by WIDE ; . 3600000 NS M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. -M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 A 198.32.65.12 +M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 A 202.12.27.33 ... comes from, although 198.32/16 has quite some history that Bill Manning might enlighten us about. I don't have a copy of root 1997051700, though. > Kato-san's thesis described the same date.

The serial numbers are from root zone SOA RRs. M appeared first with root zone 1997031300 . 518400 NS M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 518400 A 192.0.6.13 and was then relocated with root zone serial 1997082200 -M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 518400 A 192.0.6.13 +M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 518400 A 202.12.27.33 Just for the record, K came in 1997012200 on 198.41.0.11 (twin of J, same birth date and on 198.41.0.10 until 2002110401) and was later (1997051900?) relocated to Europe on 193.0.14.129. Maybe we'd add that detail to the I-D's appendix. -Peter _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list dns-operations@lists.dns-oarc.net https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
