I didn't mean anything by it, just that I swapped it out and my behavior
was different.

The ID mismatch I'm having trouble reproducing, the SERVFAIL I can
consistently reproduce, as you have stated. Only noticing it when I was
trying to figure out why it was taking so long for my browser to resolve
secure.newegg.com when I was buying things, and why sometimes it would
randomly fail to resolve.

Root Server List I extracted from named.root and formatted correctly for
dwood3rc. I wouldn't have put one in at all, except I cannot specify a
root server for internal resolution without specifying the root server
list for "."
