Since this group can be a bit pedantic about terminology, what Danny
is referencing is what I was specifically referring to as "resolvers".
I totally made up those four categories for my purposes of describing
some of the work we were doing as a simple way to describe what we've
seen in responses to probes.

Can you explain what you mean by the 800k being the larger problem?
I presume you're referring to the observation that the majority of
resolvers on the net are forwarding to that smaller pool.  I might
argue that the bigger problem is not with the 800k pool.
