I'm getting the impression that the ISC involvement with the FBI on this
issue went well beyond the notion of sticking a couple of noddy DNS servers
on the Internet and well into the realm of engineering consultancy, court
appearances, engineering and management all-nighters, providing a level of
trustworthy service that could be justified to a
court of criminal law and so on. All for $87k? Personally, I don't have a
problem with that level of expenditure.
