I'm not in the root, but the UK probe is just the same.

I have two registered DSAs, but they back each other up.

Yeah that's what I do -- so it's legal is it ?

i.e. try all presentation addresses for a given name and see if *any* responds.

Oops -- maybe that's me :-(

My root.dsas has:

DsaDN               c=FR@o=CNRS@cn=opaxdsa
OrgName             unknown
PSAPaddr            "opaxdsa+8888"/TELEX+00728722+RFC-1006+03+134.157.4.5+8888|TELEX+00728722+RFC-1006+03+157.136.14.5+8888|TELEX+00728722+X.25(80)+01+20807513094606+CUDF+03010100|TELEX+00728722+X.25(80)+01+20809123019316+CUDF+03010100
MasteredEntries     -2                  
ManagerName         unknown
ManagerEmail        unknown
ManagerPhone        unknown

and the attempts are only 166 instead of 326 for most of the other ...

so one probing site appears to have the wrong info.

Hmmm -- looking at the root stats it appears that my info isn't used for the
root data. So I assume that the same thing hold -- one of the two probing sites
has a duplicate, as the info is:


 99.40 Unknown Organisation, opaxdsa, CNRS, FR                      166
     1 Timed out after 60 seconds

 93.25 Unknown Organisation, opaxdsa, CNRS, FR                      326
     2 Unavailable 
     8 Timed out after 60 seconds
     9 Host is unreachable
     3 Connection refused

i.e. *both* are unidentified.

For which ?

One probing site with duff data ?
