Doesn't matter if it's a cluster at each location.  The fact remains that
there were only two IP addresses visible to my named, and both were
unresponsive to my machine.  As far as my machine was concerned, .ORG was
down for the count, no matter how many servers, that were "invisible" to me,
were still working.

: takes to go offline and reconverge on antoerh tld1 i still see tld2

The routes I saw never went offline, as far as I could tell -- and from my
location tld1 and tld2 have the *same* route and end up at the same physical
connectivity location.  So much for redundancy.

: maybe its firewalled? I see !H too but my .org is working fine for dns resolving

Yes, it is firewalled.  I was pointing out that the route is the same for
tld1 and tld2 for me, all the way up to the firewall.
