karlauerbach , 1 month ago @arstechnica The a-, b--, c-, etc root servers do not really talk to one another. Rather they fetch their master zone file from Verisign who has a contract to maintain the root zone file. The DNSSEC anchor file is obtained from IANA. How a root server operator deploys these files through their anycast suite of actual physical servers is pretty up to the root server operator.
