There is no A records, correct. There is a CNAME though: www.wa1.b.yahoo.com. 45 IN CNAME www-real.wa1.b.yahoo.com. www-real.wa1.b.yahoo.com. 45 IN A 209.131.36.158

I am unable to resolve www.yahoo.com. Tracing DNS back from the root servers shows that www.yahoo.com is a CNAME to www.wa1.b.yahoo.com and there are no A records for that hostname.
Anyone have more details or a Yahoo contact? I'm unable to get to their webpage as it is :-)
