is it just me, or are people confused by the references to
        f.root-servers.net (Paul Vixie's machine)
and
        f.gtld-servers.net

which was also reported to have problems? I only read
"F server" in this article, but there are two of those, and
only f.root-servers.net is operated by  volunteers, f.gtld-servers.net
is (AFAIK) operated by NSI...
