Just got this off one of my other lists... Heads Up.
Hello All,
Surprisingly, there didn’t seem to be a lot of media
coverage of this but tomorrow night the DNSSEC security upgrade will be
completed on all of the internet’s root servers. This could have some
serious results with locations that have older equipment running their
networks. Here is a link detailing the security changes that will occur:

To check to see if you will be affected by these changes, the following site
has a very simple Java app that will test your location. The page also
describes what each result from the test means.

For those more familiar with a UNIX like system, the following link gives
the commands to do a similar test:
