[dns-operations] DNS operations survey

[Tobias Fiebig]

Moin,

funnily (and/or disturbingly) enough... when we ran our 'full tree
exploration', we also stumbled over a bunch of setups where people
would (try to) implement 'we have secondary auth NS at home' by using
really weirdly configured recursives (or caches; even though i'd say
that unbound is more than a cache like, e.g., dnsmasq)...

So, erm... I would argue that the sum of people for whom that check-box
would be something to tick is a lot higher than 0^Wit should be. :-|

With best regards,
Tobias
