Two answers to this... 1) We typically know about VeriSign outages MUCH sooner than other registries, so we also use this time to do some maintainance (if required) 2) The majority of our traffic is CNO traffic. When other suppliers go down, things still run fairly smoothly (with some impact). When CNO goes down, things don't run too smoothly. I'm currently working on a project that will prevent this on a go forward basis. More to come.
