Current status: enjoying the use of PF's "probability ..." option to divert a portion of traffic to a new server under test. Also, discovering things under rocks that have been turned over by tcpdump'ing DNS traffic to a new authoritative server under test.

Are there people out there in the world who apparently blindly list three UofT DNS servers as their authoritative servers (when the servers aren't)? Apparently yes, and all from one registrar so far, so it may be Registrar Hijinks.
