I tried out the domain servers on NIC and ISIB.

1) If you send a query to SRI-NIC at 10.0.0.51, you get back a response
from 26.0.0.73 or something.  My UDP, naturally, discards the response.

2) I sent NIC a query for name ISIC.ARPA.  I got back the record:

  ISIC.ARPA    CNAME    IN      USC-ISIC.ARPA

I did not get back the RR's for USC-ISIC.ARPA.  According to RFC 882, I
should have.

3) All of the servers are terribly slow (~5-10 seconds/transaction).
