Brian:
  Yes, talking about resolvers. If I remember the incident correctly, at
the time a number of other nearby providers were using NT servers and it
was those which failed to ask another authoritative name server for the
domain when a particular server was not reachable. In our case, it was
actually the second server listed for our domains.
