  I'd sure hate to be the poor fellow having a zone being served from
  those nameservers when the inevitable configuration error causes the
  zone to get dropped on the floor (for instance an accidental removal
  from named.conf).  NXDOMAIN or SERVFAIL sure beats a wildcard match
  going to the wrong place.

I think (don't hold me to this, I might be wrong) the trick, when
you're a registrar, is to not lose domains?
