I suspect it's higher than that, because of the fraction of edge routers which do DNS masquerading. Since that caches, I'm assuming it's a recursor, rather than merely a pass-through, though I suppose it might be implementation dependent. And *most* eyeball customer resolver servers engage in search stupidity now, don't they? :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
