Maybe I'm missing something obvious but I can't help wondering why given
the redundancy of the DNS system the loss of connectivity to 2 or 3
root-servers should have a significant effect on an ISP who is otherwise
well connected and probably has a low latency/loss link to at least 2-3 of
the remaining root DNS servers
Anyone care to enlighten me ?
Thanks
