No, at least not for the moment.

128.206.2.252 will *always* work for looking up .missouri.edu, .mizzou.edu,
and 206.128.in-addr.arpa.  That's its function.  There will soon be another
server (probably 128.206.2.240) that does the same thing.

128.206.10.3 will not be accessible from the outside by this summer.
150.199.1.11 (argus.more.net) will probably answer queries for you, but it
will no longer be an authoritative source.

I've thought about having the 128.206.2.* name servers reject queries FROM
outside hosts FOR outside names, but I don't yet think it's worth the
trouble.  While I don't necessarily like the idea of providing name service
for potentially any host on the Internet ("there's a *lot* of Internet, as
my boss says), we don't *currently* have that much of a load problem on
128.206.2.252, and that load will only decrease with some of the changes I
have planned for the near future.
