Re: [fjk].gtld-servers.net bogus for .com

Yes.. I'm hearing tons of complaints about this.. and its still broken
at this time, [f jkl] root-servers.net are not correctly responding
correctly and causing a lot of problems on the Internet as a whole. 

Many people have sent mail to NetSol about the issue.. but no statments
have come from them (that I have seen).. Anyone have any information?
