[dns-operations] New local K-root node in Tanzania

[Anand Buddhdev]

Dear Colleagues,

The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce that we have deployed a new K-root
local node at the Tanzania Internet Exchange (TIX) in Dar es Salaam.

This node is sponsored by AfriNIC and the Tanzania Internet Service
Providers Association (TISPA), with transit provided by Simbanet and
Africa Online.

The RIPE NCC is participating in AfriNIC's Root Server Anycast Copy
Program, which assists well established IXPs in the African region to
deploy anycast instances of root name servers. The K-root local node in
Dar es Salaam is the first such deployment.

For more information about this K-root node, and K-root in general,
please visit the K-root website:
