[AusNOG] Optusnet.com.au DNS administrator contact

[Nathan Gardiner]

I assume the references to Telstra are to Bigpond? Internet Direct
have had separation between recursive caches and authoritative servers
(and further seperation for Telstra Infrastructure) for a long, long
time. They don't even allow recursive queries to the auth DNS servers,
so there's no way it would interfere with customer queries.
