What do people on this list feel about this as a reason? It seems a little woolly to me.
It seems rational to me. I know I used to forward off to my upstream and rely on their cache, but now I just dig it straight from the root servers and rely on my own cache. Probably less efficient, but takes a point of failure out of the loop. It's difficult getting your upstream to admit to DNS problems sometimes.
