	I presume you can read.  http://www.root-servers.org/
	lists the four sites.

	I shouldn't have to, Chris already posted it.
	David and you and I refered to it.  But for those with
	too short attention spans:

	http://www.root-servers.org/ states:  B, D, E, and H
	all are single sites.

	It is possible that the www.root-servers.org web site is
	out of date, since last I checked, it did not have the
	canonical data for all roots.  But it is the source that
	Chris used to start this thread. I'm not sure where he
	pulled that only B and H were single sites - if he(and you) had
	actually looked at this web page - for it tells a different
	story.  

	However, you may have more correct information. Please provide
	updates/corrections so that we may all be edified.
