Those greedy folks at Verisign have done it again. They've set up the TLD root servers with a wildcard such that ANY domain query that does not resolve will now resolve to 64.94.110.11. Try it - `dig boguscrappy.com` (or any nonsensical domain) and you'll see. Worse yet that IP redirects a browser to Verisign's own sitefinder page... try http://boguscrappy.com in your browser.
In effect this breaks a whole slew of standards that rely upon an unresolved domain reporting as such. There is a bind patch to fix this issue, but IMHO the issue is deeper than this. There is a petition at http://www.petitiononline.com/icanndns/petition.html that explains the situation better. If you feel so inclined visit that site and sign the petition. This is simply wrong...
