A single misconfigured / broken recursive name server puts a lot more pressure on the roots than lots of well-configured laptops. I guess one could argue that the chance of misconfiguration go up as the number of systems goes up. Again, you could argue that the quantity / chance of misconfiguration goes up with the quantity of systems being configured, but the end result still depends a great deal more on how many are misbehaving than how many there are in total. -- TTFN, patrick
