	All of them.  Apart from dynamic updates, clients do not care which
	server it queries, all are equal.  If there are a signicicant number
	of queries to this zone then the clients will use which ever servers
	answer fastest.  For dynamic updates, clients will try the master
	first provided the master is a listed server.

	The nameservers listed with the Internic should agree with the
	nameservers list in the zone.
