I wondered, off-hand, in vague relation to this thread, how many  
servers which have TLDs delegated to them would perform recursive  
lookups for me. These are the nameservers that might be in range of  
ICANN's policy, should a policy on nameserver operation be adopted.

Out of 887 nameservers I queried, five couldn't be tested because dig  
couldn't find v4 or v6 addresses for them, and 214 happily returned  
the right answer in response to my query (from  
199.212.90.5/2001:4f8:fff8::20d:93ff:fe79:15dc) for  
"www.flapdoodle.org IN A".

I'm loathe to draw too many conclusions from this, but it's always  
fun to paste a shell script into a mailing list, so here we go.
