pretty sure. a contract w/ the Feds, outsouring contracts w/ affected ISPs
when the Fed deal runs out, development funding to code these kinds of fixes
into future versions of software, any number of second and third order fallout.
No telling how effective constent self-promotion is. One thing is clear, Paul
is able to tell a great story.
but its all speculation from here. ISC is well positioned to extract value
from both ends of the spectrum. They have a great business model. The optics
look pretty odd from here, at lesat to me however - I am very glad for: )open
source & )other vendors of DNS SW.
