This was cached on one our name servers. Sure enough, dig any com

I wonder if this is what has been causing random COM domain lookups to
fail for random people at random places.
The time I can see this affecting a name server is if it does a lookup
for a domain that's lamely delegated to genieweb.com, and then caches
the 'com' reply.
I've already left voicemail for the genieweb people.
