Regarding the latter, just because a client receives an "incorrect answer" doesn't necessarily mean it's what the server ("i-root") was transmitting.Ah. Yes, this is _very_ true. Any point along the network path could have been hijacking or corrupting i-root traffic. Heck, with sufficiently malicious BGP traffic, the attacker wouldn't even need to be on path. I think I'm simply going to reserve all judgement until the post-mortem.
