Cesidian Root - Radice Cesidiana

The Cesidian Root is an independent root (or Internet) that was started by the Governor of the UMMOA on 30 September 2005, and for the benefit of Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Worlders who wish to utilise this resource for reasons of independence and/or national security. VIPs and DNS technicians also utilise this root for the same or similar reasons, and we hope to provide our services to jurisdictions worldwide in the future as well.

The Cesidian Root became a full-fledged root on 23 November 2005, and on 11 January 2006 it became a complete Internet. On 8 March 2006, the Cesidian Root became an intercontinental Internet, and it is now a global Internet using root servers on the European (7), North American (2), and Asian (2) continents.

The Cesidian Root now resolves not one, but 5 or more roots: ICANN root (310 TLDs), Cesidian Root proper (76 TLDs), China MII Root (5 TLDs), i-DNS.net Root (17 TLDs), New Nations Root (6 TLDs), and other roots (16 TLDs). It currently resolves, or will soon resolve, the entire ICANN namespace of 310 TLDs as well as 120 additional TLDs:

The Cesidian Root was started because problems were discovered with the Public-Root, problems that lead us to believe that the root was not safe, nor was the future of this root entirely assured. The Governor of the UMMOA held not one, but 10 Top-Level Domains (TLDs) that depended on the services of this root, and these TLDs at this point in time required another root for their services.

After discovering that another root that was forming in the wake of the Public-Root collapse was no more reliable than the Public-Root itself, the Governor of the UMMOA and Massimiliano Mastrocinque, a brilliant Italian IT, started the Cesidian Root. Later Karin & Peter Dambier joined the team with their eclectic IT skills.

No, I don't want you for my army. Our army is already extremely powerful! ;-) What "Uncle Sid" needs is volunteers to come forward to run a server. While we could use secondary root servers, even a humble Windows server, and a simple 256 KB ADSL line would be fine to activate a DNS resolver. To run a server you'll need at least:
