As promised, it looks like the uDNS[1] Root Name Server
Confederation is taking shape. The founders appear to
be taking a careful approach and are adding more servers.
The eDNS Root Name Server Confederation will remain
stable to continue to serve ISPs. There are 5 servers in
the eDNS Root Name Server Confederation.
The major Root Name Server Confederations are now:
AlterNIC
InterNIC
eDNS
name.space
NSI/ISI
uDNS
When the uDNS Root Name Server Confederation reaches
4 servers, it will be added to the automated reportin system
that helps to keep all of the Root Name Server Confederations
in "synch".
