The bigger issue is DNS troubleshooting.....what a nightmare when a query of
the *.gtld-servers.net servers does not return an error. What happens when
they change the IP because of null-route'ing of the current IP to a
completely different /8 subnet.
Who engineered this!!!!! Or better yet, who allowed this blatant commercial
use of the TLD servers.
