The root servers have for a long time seen a significant number of queries that contain URL schemes, among other messy things. From the names seen, this is not limited to Netgear.

This does not mean that name server operators should not reach out to device manufacturers when we see widespread breakage. Device manufacturers tend to use a small number of codebases from a small number of OEMs for years at a time, so alerting them of problems will make the DNS work better for many people.
