Thanks Simon.

I see the same; not counting IPv6 then it seems like the common resolvers just aggregate all the IPs that are NS'es for the domain and then do their picking from that.

It seems like for domains without regular/proper upstream glue records this could save a few A/AAAA lookups by batching them by name.
