it may help 'other operators' and 'nsi' to know which servers you can NOT
resolve from, and which cache/recursive hosts are asking
ns<blah>.worldnic.com for the particular domains.

So:

I am at 128.2.35.50, I asked cache00.ns.uu.net for a domain on both:
ns5.worldnic.com and ns25.worldnic.com and got no response :(

(as a simple for instance, this may help others know they are not alone in
their problems, and the NSI folks might know which askers and answers are
still unhappy with each other)
