Note that f.gtld-servers.net was the long-running one giving real
problems.  [fjk].gtld-servers.net were the ones I saw giving false
nxdomains at ~1000 pdt, [jk] were fixed by ~1030 and f was taken down
~1200.  Two hours!  Sheesh.

It appears to be fixed now.  f.gtld-servers.net is down, a few others are
giving referals to the .com nameservers (still "broken", but doesn't break
things the same).

By fixed, I mean you shouldn't see false nxdomains and things should all
resolve fine.
