Um, no it wasn't.

For all practical purposes, *.digium.com was dead.  Why?  Because even 
though there is a second "cvs.digium.com" out there on a different network, 
the nameservers digium.com are both on the same network - the network that 
was down.  So, there was no way to actually get the addresses for 
CVS.DIGIUM.COM.

Note to Digium:  As a commercial interest, you should never consider the 
following a workable solution.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
digium.com.             86308   IN      NS      marko.marko.net.
digium.com.             86308   IN      NS      linux-support.net.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
marko.marko.net.        50465   IN      A       216.207.245.12
linux-support.net.      86271   IN      A       216.207.245.1

Both nameservers on the same /24 = bad.

There are several entities out there who will do secondary DNS for free. 
You might want to look into that.
