The thing they found attractive was that having a J instance meant they also had service for the other Verisign TLDs. What you're telling me is that they must have *also* gotten a different server instance for those TLDs.


Ah.  Verisign has a thing called Regional Internet Resolution Service (RIRS).  This is a single server that can be sent to qualifying IPSs etc that we then manage.  The RIRS server has multiple VMs, one of which is for j.root-servers.net.  Other VMs will serve other zones on other IP addresses.
