Asia Pacific Root servers

In November 2002, APNIC announced a new project to establish a number of new root server sites into the Asia Pacific region. The sites are funded partially or fully by APNIC, but operated as "anycast" mirror copies of existing Root servers, by the applicable rootserver operator. For more information about this project, please email Paul Wilson, APNIC Director General.
