Of course, nobody supports the "Evil bit" today, so some change would be
necessary one way or the other to deal with this.  One wonders whether
Verizon's behavior is enough to cause Microsoft to turn on a caching
resolver.  One issue Dave didn't raise is that firewalls often block DNS
requests from OTHER than caching resolvers.

Cough.  So, how much is that NXDOMAIN worth to you?
