I patched tinydns ealier today, and I'm now getting NXDOMAIN for
non-existent A records.  Life is good at work and at home.

It took like, what, several months and several million dollars for
Verisign to fuck things up, and several people a matter of hours, and
very little capital, to fix it.  That's not the norm, I know.  Usually
it's the other way around. I'm still amazed though.
