I saw that, but didn't think it was relevant.  How is it relevant?  It also
doesn't seem like it makes sense.  "2TLDs include things like co.uk,
fed.us, etc."  Livejournal.com isn't one of those.

I wondered about that, but the standard rules don't include *any*
subdomains, and... these are URLs, they are generally subdomains.

Yes, it's possible.  As I said, I'd be happy to ask them (linode) if
something like that happened if I could get confirmation on what exactly
the query response had to be (*.*.*.4, or exactly 127.0.0.4?).

Seemed like a good idea to reduce load on the root servers.  Do you
disagree?
