You mean control of our delegations, not our zone files[1].  I'll buy
that, though it hasn't really been an issue.  We hadn't actually asked 
for changes when we got the .org domain.  I assume we (Lynn) have since.

To make our DNS more reliable and to give us better control over our 
zone files I'd recommend running the master CLUE DNS on the CLUE server. 
  Jeff O. will have to decide on the pros and cons, since he's the one 
to do it.

There isn't much to do about our delegations other than changing domains 
like we are.  But that problem has been secondary.

[1] Delegations say "there is a clue.denver.co.us domain".  Zone files
say "the address for clue.denver.co.us is blah; the mail exchanger for
clue.denver.co.us is blah; etc."
