i think that you should spend your efforts trying to get the .INT
content mirrored in .ARPA somehow.  such as contacting the folks
who own the delegations you have in .INT and teaching them how to
re-register their content in .ARPA, such as by going through their
RIR's.

icann's not involved at all.  once you get the content re-registered
in .ARPA, you can put a DNAME at the top of your .INT zone and the
rest is history.

what's the standard for "noticable"?  1qps?  10qps?  100qps?  what
are you seeing, in qps, today?
