Обсуждение: On DNS for postgresql.org

I posted this to -general, but more clueful people suggested I should
truck myself over here.  So here I am:

Now that the DNS is back (thanks!), I thought I'd ask why the ra bit
is set on the responses.  Are those servers providing recursion to
the whole Net?  (They seem to be.)  If so, that's a Bad Thing.
