*No* group. By concensus. Each server decides which peers he/she trusts. 
Each trust gives the server a vote. Enough votes and the server is 
"trusted".

So for example, when a DNS client sends a request, it checks the trust 
level of the responding server. If the trust is too low, the answer is 
discarded and a request is made to another server.

Trusted servers could publish the list of other servers that they trust, 
so clients can keep an up to date list of trusted servers.
