so i hit www.internic.net today, looking for contact information for a
customer of mine, and lo and behold, it's some AlterNIC crap! come to
find out, my name server has incorrect information for www.internic.net:
piglet [~] ? nslookup www.internic.net
Server: mixer.visi.com
Address: 204.73.178.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.internic.net
Address: 207.51.48.15
according to my cache dump, this information came from AlterNIC.
$ORIGIN INTERNIC.net.
