How many queries do those four servers normally handle?
Using the most basic of logic (slightly flawed admittedly)... r = number of daily root-server .com requests t = total number of root-servers b = 4 (number of bad root servers) (b/t)*r Now, since I'm suspecting that "r" is a sufficiently high value, I would say it would not be "negligible". If it was "negligible" and "users would not notice", then it wouldn't have been reported to NSI, as we are all end-users of their system, and we noticed. :)
But a press release should keep close to what happened.
... and not an outright lie? ;-) Sounds like NSI is starting to take some pointers from the Microsoft School of Press Releases.... ;-) d
