The ARIN policy includes a mention of 30 days to let postal mail be 
received by the registrant.  Unlike E-mail and the phone which give 
us feed back, postal mail does not guarantee an '[n]ack.'

As far as timing of the ARIN tests, there's no set schedule yet as we 
are still in the learning phase of what is needed.  Our first run is 
only identifying the servers that are lame (per the original 
definition of lame).  Even that is tricky - in testing with UDP, what 
is one time unresponsive is later answering lame.

We will need to do better on timing - first to handle the congestion 
control issues of dropping queries on our end/responses as they come 
back through our low capacity lines (T-1's).  Eventually we do want 
to expand to capture unreachable servers and then unreachable zones.
