[dns-operations] Missing g.root-servers.net and k.root-servers.net

[Peter Dambier]

Hello,

at 2008-07-28 (210) 13:20:15 UTC I got an alarm:

Root-Servers SOA records

soa(".","2008072800","a.root-servers.net","198.41.0.4").
soa(".","2008072701","b.root-servers.net","192.228.79.201").
soa(".","2008072800","c.root-servers.net","192.33.4.12").
soa(".","2008072800","d.root-servers.net","128.8.10.90").
soa(".","2008072800","e.root-servers.net","192.203.230.10").

soa(".","2008072800","l.root-servers.net","199.7.83.42").
soa(".","2008072800","m.root-servers.net","202.12.27.33").

Interestingly enough, a couple of hours later I get

; <<>> DiG 9.4.0 <<>> +norec @k.root-servers.net chaos txt id.server
; (1 server found)

I expected "kserver.denic" for Frankfurt, but that is London.

Traceroute says:

g.root-servers.net is still missing and traceroute says:
