Many of them, like us, tell subscribers to use two statically configured _service addresses_ which describe the internal-DNS _service_, and are resident on all customer-facing DNS servers throughout our infrastructure. The only reason to give them two addresses rather than one is to keep the clueless ones from complaining about lack of redundancy. Both addresses are typically hosted on all machines, though. -Bill
