No. The ztomy nameservers appeared in this morning's master .COM zonefile as /authoritative/ for the number of domains I mentioned. It is a clear change from just a couple of days ago, when the listed nameservers were nowhere to be seen. I have solid data to back this up, straight from Verisign GRS (Verisign), the authoritative registry for .COM, .NET and others. j On Thu, Jun 20, 2013 at 4:10 PM, Carsten Bormann <cabo@tzi.org> wrote:
Wild speculation:
netsol says this is a human error incurred during DDOS mitigation. ztomy.com is a wild-card DNS provider that seems to use prolexic. Now imagine someone at netsol or its DDOS service providers fat-fingered their DDOS-averting routing in such a way that netsol DNS traffic arrived at ztomy.com instead of a netsol server. The ztomy.com server would know how to answer the queries...
I have no data to base this speculation on.
