Root servers screwed (fwd)

[Adam Maloney]

This is correct from A:

unixws1:~ $ dig @a.root-servers.net microsoft.com
; <<>> DiG 8.2 <<>> @a.root-servers.net microsoft.com
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 6

This is a Very Bad Thing (tm) from B:
