<br>
experience and observation say that even with a lengthy negative ttl,
there will be an awful lot of queries sent to the closest enclosing NS
RRset for that nameserver name. there would also be a large volume of
syslog traffic worldwide concerning this misconfiguration.<br>
<br>
something like AS112 would be best -- a real address that can be sunk or
dunked by anyone.<br>
