Why is www.google.cat resolving?

2009-05-05 Thread Tim Tuppence
Hello,

I am seeing that www.google.cat resolves from three different networks.
It even resolves from here: http://www.squish.net/dnscheck/

What is going on?

Thanks,

Tim

I think the real question here is why does schroedingers.cat not  
resolve, and who will be the first person able to jump through the  
requisite hoops make it do so.

That's because ".cat" has IDN and therefore it should be
schrödingers.cat
