Chinese Root Server Shut Down After DNS Problem
itwbennett writes "After a networking error first reported on Wednesday last week caused computers in Chile and the US to come under the control of a system that censors the Internet in China, the 'root DNS server associated with the networking problems has been disconnected from the Internet,' writes Robert McMillan. The server's operator, Netnod, has 'withdrawn route announcements' made by the server, according to company CEO Kurt Lindqvist."
Seriously? RTFA. You don't know what a root DNS server does? Your posting privileges should be revoked. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since most young people don't know how the original internet was hosted. There are these boxes called servers see, and they do these routy switchy things, which is how god was created, then light, then the internet, then porn, in that order.
mod parent down for a very poor description of how DNS works.
The root servers haven't served ".com", etc for years. These days they only serve "." - the root zone.
