New Servers Noted in SE Michigan

I have no need to opt-out as I've never used Comcast DNS. But I'm the curious sort... and just this morning find new DNS servers via DHCP:

WAS:
68.87.77.130 cns.westlandrdc.mi.michigan.comcast.net
68.87.72.130 chic-cns.area4.il.chicago.comcast.net
68.87.75.194 cns.summitpark.pa.pitt.comcast.net

NOW:
68.87.77.134 nrcns.westlandrdc.mi.michigan.comcast.net
68.87.72.134 nrcns.area4.il.chicago.comcast.net

But no redirection yet. It's consistent with the progress stated publicly. While I abhor elimination of NXDOMAIN I applaud Comcast being open about it. (Earthlink was NOT! )

EDIT: If anyone in the know is listening, the performance of cached lookups on the new servers is twice as fast as the old. Are they really faster or did I just catch it before all the customer DHCP cycles?

Also... any insight what "nr" means? I'm chuckling at some guesses.

North Region? Nether Regions? Not Ready? No Returns?

Its a little less sophisticated than those guesses.

"nr" = No Redirect

Thanks for the response. I believe funchords See Profile really meant to say, "Game over. CC guy wins."

Isn't that backwards? The original post says these new servers (now named "nrcns") will be the redirecting servers, right? Or will the name also change when it becomes redirecting?

Incidentally, the new and old servers are now performing neck-in-neck identical. The new ones were MUCH faster yesterday so I'll bet customer volume is switching over as we speak. (psssst... the old ones may end up seriously outperforming the new ones... I hope ).

Was wondering if someone would notice this

We deployed the DNS views before we decided which ones would be no redirect. If you look now its been corrected.

Bingo! I have to mention "nr" = "no redirect" was the obvious answer BUT BACKWARDS! Naw. Couldn't be it... Until now.
