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:
http://www.itnews.com.au/News/173746,last-minute-checks-for-dnssec-upgrade.aspx
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:
