[outages] dns.com name servers down?

[Jeremy Chadwick]

Does anyone know geographically where the authoritative nameservers in
question were located?

The reason I ask: there was a fibre cut within XO's network near SF
(specifically 529 Bryant and Fremont) that correlates almost directly,
time-wise, with when Chris began seeing this problem.  Splicing took
about an hour.
