        Rather than continue to whine about lack of data, this is 
        the .US forward zone data:

        9928 unique servers answering for 33299 zones. 2165 servers blocked
        or refused data. Of the 7763 that answered, these are the numbers
        for improper configuration:
        
        BAD_SERVER:     14
        FORMERR:        2
        NXDOMAIN:       29

        So, of the 7763 visable servers, 45 are improperly configured in the
        visable US. tree. Thats 4.53% of those servers being "not well
        maintained.

        Keith, These two data points seem to bear your assertion out.

        in-addr.arpa    7.45% - poorly managed
        us.             4.53% - poorly managed
