If one DNS server for a ccTLD goes down, there are lots of secondaries that queries can go to. A normal end user won't even notice. If the primary goes down and needs to change IPs, that's primarily a non-user-visible change in the configuration of the secondary name servers. > Renumbering a ccTLD DNS is painful - even a secondary one.

Distribute your secondary name servers well, and a single nameserver going down won't do that much hurt. Of course procedures should be into place to change the glue records quickly (in the range of "hours", instead of "months"). > And what about public exchange points? In which way are ccTLDs related to public exchange points? Or are you referring to the discussed "abandon PI" policy change?
