Is dns really all that sensitive that we need to have security clearances
if we handle a DNS server.  Lets bulletproof the technology first.  I'm
sure Kashpureff didn't have a clearance.

Also, people used to routinely do zone transfers from selected root servers
as late as early last fall.  The tools?  nslookup or nxfer.  Not rocket
science at the time

nslookup - xxx.root-servers.net
> ls com.
