i recommend against declaring servers bogus unless you're going to monitor
them and mark them unbogus as soon as they are OK again.  (like F, right now,
is OK again since the FTP of the com zone from internic finally finished.)

we did what most people did: suffered.  also, i took F offline while it was
fetching the COM zone.

dns leaks a fair bit.  we have 20+ nameservers here, and i did not want to
go in and mark the bad-servers-of-the-hour as bogus.
