Roland, you seem to be going off at a tangent. If you want to continue
a discussion of what a "clueful" DNS user or robust DNS service means
please take it to the DNS Working Group.
There's no need, the extra resilience that redundant NS brings to the
table is well understood. The question remains, however, as to whether
individual website owners are expected to understand the hosting
products to that degree of technical detail, or should they expect the
services they are buying (from people who ought to be familiar with Best
Practice) to be delivered to a reasonable standard.
In other words, isn't it the industry who should be clueful, on the
users' behalf? Although not immediately applicable to this document, it
is however a question for governments and regulators with their
"consumer protection" hats on.
In the context of the document we're discussing here -- DNS blocking
for government and regulatory people -- the point that should be made
is that DNS service for some domain does not necessarily rest with a
single entity.
A simple tool for extracting this information from the DNS would be
quite helpful for non-technical readers.
