I did notice that Paul was quoted as stating essentially that F was not
impacted. From my own experience and numerous folks who monitor DNS
performance this seems true. However, I did notice that several of the
servers which are operated by VeriSign were not responding to at least a
large, 50% or greater, fraction of test queries. Even so, VeriSign was
good enough to chime in that their root servers were unaffected.
Did I mis-perceive this, or is it another bold-faced lie from VeriSign?
