Btw, for everyone who like me has been wondering for years what a 'plenus'
is, and why it would appear at the end of the root zone, I am informed it is
Latin for 'full, filled, plump' or 'satisfied' ;-)

In other news, because of recent 'modified root-server traffic'
developments, the PowerDNS Recursor (which is an almost pure resolver, with
limited authoritative features) can now host the root-zone, 'plenus' and
all. (it actually barfed on the plenus, because it was expecting "plenus",
with quotes).
