NSI bulletin 097-004 | Root Server Problems
- From: David Holtzman
- Date: Thu Jul 17 14:07:24 1997
On Wednesday night, July 16, during the computer-generation of the
Internet top-level domain zone files, an Ingres database failure resulted
in corrupt .COM and .NET zone files. Despite alarms raised by Network
Solutions' quality assurance schemes, at approximately 2:30 a.m. (Eastern
Time), a system administrator released the zone file without regenerating the
file and verifying its integrity. Network Solutions corrected the
problem and reissued the zone file by 6:30 a.m. (Eastern Time).
Thank you.
