	The thing I find so amusing is that Microsoft apparently blocks 
TCP port 53 queries to at least some of their nameservers (if not all 
of them).  First, they had only two nameservers, and they were taken 
down by the simplest of DoS attacks.  Now they compound their 
stupidity of having *twelve* nameservers (which virtually guarantees 
UDP truncation in many cases), by refusing TCP port 53 queries.

	Man, does their stupidity have any limits?
