Any volunteer to write a problem statement for the "VIX.SU issue"?
Short version: "when I'm on the same network that at least one
authoritative name server of VIX.SU, I want this domain to work, even if there
is zero Internet connectivity to the outside world" Longer version:
"TODO (think of: is it automatic or not, does it require prior access
or not, phantom domains, etc)"
