Generally, no. Technically you can ask for anything, but the root zone and it's very complex signing process is in charge of by ICANN and its Root Zone Maintainer (contracted to Verisign). So is it possible to get it changed? Potentially. Quickly? Very unlikely. But is the gain actually worth much? I think many would argue no. What goal is being achieved when the data transfer is already quite small as is? And the root servers should actually get LESS traffic from a LocalRoot supporting resolver that downloads the entire zone every day, because the negative queries will go away. -- Wes Hardaker Google _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
