@hardaker I just watched your talk. I almost stopped it at the point that you said if you’re running a local root you can leave the room because I’ve been doing exactly that; AXFR / mirror, for years.

But I kept listening because I thought it can’t be that simple and there must be something that I’m missing.

I like the presentation.

I think I misinterpreted the title to be something akin to no root servers period, a la some other flood fill mechanism. But nothing that complex.

👍🏻

@drscriptt Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for serving your own root for years! That's really the goal. The RSS won't go away, but it would be nice if became the emergency backup rather than the mission critical inflastructureit is today.

@hardaker I should read the updated RFC / drafts therefor.

I’d consider running a loca root on the recursive server for clients at a my friends ISP.

I seem to remember BINDs new “mirror” zone type being a good thing for the root zone.
