MAX had an I2-facing instantiation of D-root for a while last year.  From 
what I remember, there really was not a lot of traffic to it, as compared to 
the commodity-facing ones, and they redeployed. 

Kinda makes sense, due to lower visibility in an isolated network, versus 
worldwide.

But it did not seem to suck in a lot of traffic simply due to query 
concentration / localpref.
