Yes Neil,
It should be interesting to know the 'official' requirements/recommendations for ccTLD's hosting For example: diversity geographical, network needs, security needs, building environment., etc
I don't know of any official requirements. But RFCs 2182 and 2870 offer good guidance. (Some of 2870 is root zone-specific, but most of it would apply to a ccTLD server.) --Steve Bellovin, http://www.research.att.com/~smb (me) http://www.wilyhacker.com ("Firewalls" book)

Unfortunately most of the ccTLD nameserver operators ignore 2870 (including one of the authors...)

It is perhaps instructive to note that when RFC 2870 was written, (most of) the roots also hosted COM,NET,ORG. Considered properly, RFC 2870 is more targeted toward gTLD servers. ccTLDs have a moderately different focus, while root servers are distinct from either in their requirements. --bill
