I am not saying burn ISC at the stake by any stretch of the imagination, but I think your comment about people not dying if a nameserver is down is a little understating things. Perhaps in your DNS environment servers crashing and being unable to resolve is not a big deal, but I bet a lot of the folks here who run DNS for large organizations would beg to differ. -- -Ben Croswell
