Agreed that this should go to hostmaster at freebsd.org, however, it's kind
of interesting to note the following:

The DNS servers that provide authoritative service for freebsd.org are
part of ISC's SNS service, which provides secondary DNS for non-profit
and educational orgs.  These are the servers which are showing the
dcookie=timeout.  So you're using ISC's testing service to show that
ISC's secondary name service isn't working.  Ironic.

Also, when I ran the test again, a bunch more errors showed up (as
opposed to what was in the cached version.  This also holds when I test
for the isc-sns.info zone (also served by the same servers).  I suspect
the freebsd.org hostmaster will probably want to drop a line to ISC.
