. IN DS 19036 8 2  49AAC11D7B6F6446702E54A1607371607A1A41855200FD2CE1CDDE32F24E8FB5

The canonical location of the root zone trust anchor information is http://data.iana.org/root-anchors. Also included there are supporting material and explanatory documentation.

A PGP-signed version of this attestation is available here.

In this first episode, we introduce ourselves and talk a little about our backgrounds. We also explain who the heck Mr. DNS is and why we’ve named our podcast after him. Then we actually answer a DNS question and wind up the episode discussing some interesting DNS research we’ve each done.

We hope you enjoy it!
