  FWIW, in my service area (Dover, NH), they do not appear to be doing
this.  Or, if they are, they are adjusting the response time for
queries based on distance to the real nameserver.  ;-)

  One problem I did encounter in the past was that Adelphia was
dropping UDP packets with a *source* port of 53.  Any other source
port was fine.  Today's Internet is a weird place.  :)
