	When you publish a delegation you are telling the world that
	you are willing to answer queries for this zone on these
	nameservers.  If you are not willing to do this then don't
	list the nameserver.  Currently the only nameservers listed
	in the parent zone don't answer queries from my address or my
	IPS's nameservers (203.2.75.132, 198.142.0.51).

	I suspect someone has said we don't need to answer queries
	from APNIC.  There is no one anywhere is ASIA or the Pacific
	we would ever want to talk to.  The fact that you are talking
	to me (indirectly via a mailing list) show how wrong and short
	sighted that reasoning to be.
