<p class=MsoNormal>How does bind 9.x chooses root servers? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This is sample result from tcpdump on Bind 9.x .From this
result it means bind chooses root servers base on weight of response time. It
does not choose the lowest response time server. Do I understand correctly?<o:p></o:p></p>
