I cannot find another report about the TLDs most often queried at a

small glimpse, however partial, at least *names* the TLDs.
All the non-existing TLDs queried are local domains (such as Apple's
".local"), leaking through a configuration error. This looks like a
job for AS112.
I think it very may well be suited to that task, but are we crossing a
line here that may result down a path we might regret later on. I
think what would need to be worked out is what criteria would be used
to declare a local or nonsense domain, nonsense or junk, and have that
suitably delegated to AS112. It could go ad infinitum (ever word in
every language), or it could be we need to take whatever floats to the
top 25 of a domain lookup chart. Of course, someone needs to
determine what makes a good sample to create that statistic.
I wonder if it is even necessary to enumerate/instantiate the junk TLDs?
Given that root servers have (by definition) *the* authoritative list of
TLDs, everything else is junk.
Would not it make sense to put in wildcard delegations to AS112?
What are the pros/cons of this, other than the obvious offloading of
junk TLD lookups?
