three things.
1. there is definitely some confusion here. my f (root-servers.net) was
lame (which is not fatal to resolvers who query it). NSI's f (gtld-
servers.net) was insane (which was fatal to resolvers who queried it.)
2. my F is not a volunteer. f.root-servers.net is a funded activity of ISC.
if my F is "volunteer" than every nameserver everywhere is a "volunteer."
3. holtzman has some other axe he's grinding, this is all smokescreening.
if i could just stop worrying about that, i could start being insulted
by his wierd comments here and elsewhere.
