NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL (DDN Reference) (06/29/91)
The following is a list of current root servers, followed by a file suitable for use as a "root.cache" file for BIND users. Changes since the last announcement are the temporary deletion of GUNTER-ADAM.AF.MIL, and the addition of the first non-US server in Sweden, NIC.NORDU.NET. NORDUnet is the backbone network for the Nordic countries, connecting their academic networks with the US Internet and the european IP networks.

It has been argued that this would create a lot of traffic from the USA to the external root nameserver as machines try to work out the closest root name server. I hope that somebody will report (after a while) whether in fact this does cause any problems. Bob Smart <smart@mel.dit.csiro.au>
