Is there perhaps an about.com/nytimes.com admin around? I was wondering if they perhaps knew that their loadbalancer for www.nytimes.com is fairly broken wrt answering AAAA queries: (who's NS for nytimes.com) dig NS nytimes.com +short ns1t.nytimes.com. nydns2.about.com. nydns1.about.com. (who do they think is the NS for www.nytimes.com) dig www.nytimes.com @ns1t.nytimes.com. NS ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.nytimes.com.
