Sure they do! Try reading the website once or twice. Then you can take your
foot out of your mouth.

Um, Do you have a URL?

I belive this whole thing started by Paul Vixie stating that ISC will
issue first reporting of issues to OS Vendors and Root Nameservers.
Neither category do you, or I, fall under.

Yes, on the ISC's website it does state that Nominum, Inc. will support
bind. Great. So will I. Not nearly the same as what Vixie is now
offering to OS Vendors and Root Nameservers.

Is ISC stating that Nominum, Inc. customers will receive up to the minute
security updates? IE, is Nominum to ISC-Bind what sendmail.com, inc. is
to The Sendmail Consortium? If so, OK. But, I'm taking it as Nominum
offers support services, similar to what Harker Systems, and others, does
for sendmail.

There are enterprise support contracts available for purchase. I don't know
if they've shifted them into Nominum or not, but they are referenced in
multiple places.

And yes, it is my impression that Nominum intends to be BIND, Inc. but I'm
not associated with them and that is only my impression.
