DNS Problem

    	BTW, personally I don't like the ABC list system: in the old
	situation one could see at first glance where a root server
	is located. With the ABC list  system that's no longer possible.
    I agree on that, except that it's much easier to spot fake
    root NS' (I guess that's one of the reasons it was made too)
That's indeed a good argument. But in that case there
would be no need to distribute root cache init files
that contain the ABC list, but files that contain the
real hostnames. That would buy you the best of 2 worlds:
- The real root server information will flow in anyway
  and override whatever is in the init file. Thus fake
  root servers would still be spotted immediately.
- In the init file one could still see where a given
  root server is located, by comparing the A record
  with the A records of the root servers.
