Does anyone know if NSI even has an off-site mirror running?  Or are
all the eggs in one basket?

Without actually confirming they exist myself, NSI has reported in
various forums including NANOG they have off-site backups.  The GTLD's
generally have much better backup, and diversity than most country
TLD's, many US subdomains and ISP delegations.

Since this whole thread came up as a result of NSI getting potentially
thwacked by the government for being the twits that we know they are (it
always takes the gov longer to figure these things out apparently) and
the possibility that NSI will try to take their ball and go home, we
have to assume that off-site *NSI* backup reserve balls are going to go
home with the primary game ball.  (Am I taking this analog too far?)
