If ISC or someone else runs it, *please* consider the settings very  
carefully.

Just trying a couple of domains:

- Not running accepting TCP queries is marked as an failure
- Having 2 (out of 8) nameservers using the same address is marked as  
an error
- unable to find nameservers for bl.spamcop.net  (funny, I can just  
fine)


Otherwise, it looks pretty cool
