Hi Vishwas

Spammers moving DNS servers ?
The domains look like something the spammers would use for
site redirects, could actually look at them etc but is it really
worth the time.

ie, 89.com

[I:\]host 89.com
89.com has address 38.144.193.194
89.com has address 63.236.2.233
89.com mail is handled (pri=10) by mail.89.com

 Domain servers in listed order
    DNS.NS2.ORG
    DNS.NS1.ORG

Niether of which have reverse delegations but DNS servers can still get
the info from them ok.

m.gtld-servers.net claims those DNS servers are authoritive but the
domains dont have glue.

The domains been around since 1997 though.
The DNS system is designed to be very forgiving, which has its
good points as well as its bad but thats the way of it. It helps to
keep the internet going when something goes wrong but the
person looking after it should still fix the problem !
