Our name servers will resolve the ip for plug.phoenix.az.us if they
are asked directly as they are resolving name servers. They won't
short circuit normal requests that are trying to find the ultimate
name servers though (ie if you ask another name server, our servers
just pass on the ns records).

I still think it's silly for plug to be on servers outside of Phoenix.
Our offer to host it is still open. At least it would be in Phoenix,
and plug would have a local contact for all the connectivity problems.

Someone should toss together a server and colo it in our data center free
of charge.
