Well, actually, Greg, there are multiple root clusters, with multiple sets of authoritative root servers -- but only one of those is consecrated by DoC/ICANN. The other ones do exist, do work, and so far as I'm aware, there are not currently any rogue redelegations of "traditional" gTLDs, nor many, if any, collisions of non-traditional gTLDs, amongst the various ones. I don't let the people on DOMAIN-POLICY get away with *overstating* the case on alternative roots, I shouldn't let you get away with *understating* the case, neither. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
