I'm getting the impression that the ISC involvement with the FBI on this issue went well beyond the notion of sticking a couple of noddy DNS servers on the Internet and well into the realm of engineering consultancy, court appearances, engineering and management all-nighters, providing a level of trustworthy service that could be justified to a court of criminal law and so on.
