The move of the primary .za zonefile to be offshore did not cause any disruption to the .za nameservice. All of the sysops of the secondaries were kind enough to cooperate fully and efficiently. I have no recollection of the failure of .za nameservers that Joe describes -- not even arising from 9/11. AFAIK, South African ISPs had backup circuits via satellite to cater for disruptions to the SAT3 service, and there were such disruptions and the satellite links did kick in. They gave a choked service, both in capacity and in inherent response times. But failures of the .za domain, no. Mike -- Mike Lawrie.
