The root server set for the domain system will change in October. The C.ISI.EDU machine is going to its just reward, and its name server will stop some time in October. Toast its demise with a root bier. The NIC will remove it from the domain database approximately one week in advance. Gunter-Adam.arpa will join the official set of root servers before C's demise. As a more long term solution, shakedown of several new root servers "closer" to the east coast, NSFnet, etc is underway, and should be provide a long term solution. paul
