<div>I have found that <a href="http://www.thisisgame.com" target="_blank">www.thisisgame.com</a> does not resolve on our DNS servers. Google DNS works fine. According to <a href="http://dns.14x.org" target="_blank">dns.14x.org</a> the top level domain "com" is w. I do not see a "w" server. I have the most recent named.root file from June. What have I done wrong?</div>

<div>Thanks for looking during this busy time.</div>
