bootstrap_handles provide information about the GHR. That information is reflected in the handle records for 0.NA/0.NA, 0.0/0.0 and other handles, but the Handle software needs that information before it can resolve any handles. 0.NA/0.NA contains HS_SITE information for a number of servers that provide services for the GHR. This includes some legacy servers that were part of the the pre-DONA 0.NA/0.NA. This is especially needed for legacy clients. New clients can follow the multiple HS_SERV values in 0.NA/0.NA to find the site information of various MPAs. Robert
