OK, I understand. So, like Elmar Bins, I was seeing "intra-site" jitter, which is normal (it is only seen with UDP queries, probably because the Verisign load balancer is stateful and remembers the binding for TCP) and no "inter-site" jitter, which would be more serious. But I'm quite at this edge of the Internet, so let's wait for more reports with Peter Boothe's tool. And just be sure to "sanitize" the results before jumping to the wrong conclusion, like I did.
