How many root DNS servers are reachable over Internet II?

修改使用 Snap Preview

An Internet dependency

Our main Internet connection is effectively down at the moment, and hasbeen for over an hour and a half by now. It's startling how much of mywork and the little stuff I do, including things I do more or less tofidget, turns out to be in some way dependent on the Internet.
