[dns-operations] What's the story on gmail.fr?

[Michele Neylon - Blacknight]

Gmail.ie redirects to Gmail correctly .. 

Though I've never seen them advertise Gmail using anything other than the .com .. 

Regards

Michele

It may not actually be used.

I came across this when investigating SERVFAILs.  These days a large
number of SERVFAILs are triggered by botnets, and thus it is entirely
possible that the queries I found for gmail.fr were also triggered by
botnets.
