Does anyone know why IANA has assigned NS and A records to the
example.{com,org,net,...} domains? They even put up a website
at the IP explaining RFC 2606.
* Why did they assign NSs and a valid IP to these invalid domains?
* Are they breaking the RFC by doing this?
* Are they breaking anti-UCE filters by doing this? (yes)
* Are they harvesting URLs and referrers?
* Will they next advertise routes for RFC 1918 addresses?
