where did you read that?

we don't run *anything* on physical machines and all our nameservers 
(auth, caching with a mix of bind/unbound/rbldnsd) as anything else runs 
on top of VMware vSphere 5.5, previously 4.1/5.0 since 2008

there is zero to no justification these days for run anything on bare 
metal when you read artciles like
