We're also moving the recursive resolver function away from these
servers, but since the hardware is rather old (from 2006) we want to
move everything, including the authoritative role.

Generally our clients only query the anycast addresses and those can
easily be moved elsewhere. The IP addresses of the authoritative name
servers can thus be changed without incident.
