Depends - It doesn't help if the DNS server is dead, but the front-end is still advertising the routes.

Possibly a good argument for allowing the DNS servers to originate the routes for them...? I've seen configuration where the routes were injected based on link state via crossover cable, so at least if the whole machine pukes the route is dropped. But if the resolver or OS itself is just hung then yeah... Mike
