Seriously though, for a service like hotmail, I would bet that the name servers are actually a very small part of their whole redundancy and security plan. I can only imagine the number of people that they have working on that particular service!

Most of the large sites (Yahoo, Hotmail, Google, etc., etc.,) are hosted in multiple locations that are all built like rocks. These guys spend MILLIONS on their hosting per month. I know Yahoo is in at least 6 different data centers across the United States with 3 different providers. Same with Google. Big bucks for this stuff and how often do they go down?
