d.root-servers.net

The Domain Name System is a distributed hierarchical database of resource records that permit (among other things) the translation of hostnames into IP addresses and vice versa. The root of this hierarchy is anchored on 13 domain name servers scattered across the globe. The D Root Server is operated by the Office of Information Technology at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD. The University has been operating a root server at the request of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) since 1988.

For operational issues related to the D server, please contact the OIT Network Operations Center at 1-301-405-3003.

Operational Report: Events of 21-Oct-2002

We expect to have MRTG data for the D server available here in the near future.
