Google public DNS - getting SERVFAIL for any domains delegated to GoDaddy NSs

Sun Dec 7 18:44:30 UTC 2014

Heh...when it succeeds for me sometimes now, if I do it repeatedly, I 
can see two different TTL sets each time, so I know I'm hitting at least 
two nodes / sets of nodes...

One of my traceroutes from 151 Front suggests the node is in the 
building, as the latency is well under 1ms.
