how about ultradns? they still advertise anycast, and they serve .ORG w/ it.

i have two questions.
1. was that before or after the acquisition of "bechtel's genuity" and
their load-balanced (noncoherent) anycast?
2. is "gte's genuity"'s authoritative dns anycast system load-balanced
(noncoherent) or is it just for load-sharing/redundancy these days?
