Redwood City, CA -- ISC (ISC) has installed a new F-root server anycast instance in Beijing in cooperation with APNIC, China Telecom and the Beijing Internet Exchange which is run by China Netcom Corporation (CNC). The new server is a mirror of the F-root nameserver managed by ISC in the United States.
Despite being the world's most populous country, China has never enjoyed the benefits of a local root nameserver, and this development will bring dramatic improvements in speed and reliability to Internet users in Beijing, China and the surrounding region.
