Just proving my point - you didn't find the webpage that also lists
their IPv6 addresses. :)

Now explain how you find a recursive nameserver that isn't listed in an NS
entry and *hasn't* been publicized someplace that Google can find it.

That might, must *might* mind you, be somewhat tangentially related
to why I asked Jared what the BCP is for dealing with mobile devices
with hardcoded DNS lists. :)

(Otherwise read as "we'll be glad to fix it if somebody has a brilliant
idea on how to do so without generating more calls to the help desk than
