Hi Joe, Attached please find what I can find prior in 1999 for root hint files or cache at some recursive implementations. Prior to 1999, the names dropper mailing list contains a lot of information. If you do a search for root servers, there are a lot of information come up that goes all the way back to 1984. The names dropper list also documents the fragmentation issue that was discovered around 1994-1995 timeframe. http://marc.info/?l=namedroppers&w=2&r=40&s=root+server&q=b Hope this helps.

I thought I'd ask here since I remember Duane asking a similar question relating to RSSAC-003...
... does anybody have a complete or partial archive of root zone data that is older than the set available at DNS-OARC? OARC's archive has nothing older than July 2009.
Our *root* zone archive in fact goes back to 1999, its only the other TLD data that goes back to 2009:
Sorry to spread misinformation! I stand corrected.
I confess I didn't look at the web page, just at the filesystem:
