Indeed. As far as I know, there is no contractual framework whatsoever covering performance, security, or privacy. If this turns out to be a problem, we need to ship a signed copy of the root zone, together with an appropriate update mechanism, effectively eliminating our reliance on the root servers. We should only do this if there is indeed no other way to cope with the situation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
