[aklug] Re: DNS Root Failure?

I didn't realize Verisign stuck a J root server in Anchorage. Now I'm
curious - can anyone comment where the server is located?! GCI's
SADC, an ACS wire center, or.....?

I just tried to traceroute to see if I'd get the Anchorage box but
thanks to anycast I ended up in Palo Alto for both ipv4 and ipv6. :P
