Adrian-

Dakotacom is owned by Worldcom right?  And isn't Time/Warner one of
Worldcom's biggest customers?  I think WC is TW's ISP, so to speek.  So
WC probably owns/operates the servers you're 'dig' ing at.  Maybe they
ditched BIND, switched to djbdns so they can run DNS for the whole world
on a couple of 486's and replaced the army of BIND nursemaids with a
couple of bash scripts, and will be passing the savings on to you : )
