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

[Phillip Hallam-Baker]

Seems obvious enough to me.

The domains were bought to prevent a squatter getting them and they are
parked with a company that does anti-phishing services (among other
things).

The Google DNS records are probably only intended to be read by the parking
service and would be used to signal a change in the configuration.

Well that's how I would do it.
