While not a network operator, I think it would be most prudent to consider
and discuss (among those who ARE netops) what do to if, say, the root
server were suddenly comletely unaccessible for several days/permanently
for *whatever* reason.
Does anyone know if NSI even has an off-site mirror running? Or are all
the eggs in one basket?
What's going to happen to the ISPs if suddenly everyone of their client's
domains are toast?
Better to have a plan and not need it than need it and not have it. It's
called 'contingency planning'. And a very good idea no matter the endeavor.
