Nothing's broken, nothing's to fix, neither the TLD NS, nor in your DNSs, nor in your domain delegations or host registration. That's how DNS delegation, and host registration, works. In the absence of glue, the querying DNS fetches the missing glue at the correct parent NSs. ie, if a .com or .net zone is delegated to a .biz or .org NS, then the .com or .net parent NSs won't have the glue for .biz or .org registered hsots, but the parent NSs for .biz and .org will. Scott actually argues against delegating a .tld domian to NSs that are not registered with that .tld. This is arguing against DNS diversity, especially important for large organizations handling web and mail traffic from anywhere on the planet. >Anyone care to comment on this? I had a big thread with the DNSReport guy about DNS Report sending people off on wild goose chases into many lists, like the one you're on, trying to fix or solve the unbroken. His report comments are simply wrong at worst, and are misleading, confusing logorrhea at best. And the kind of visitors who use his site are frequently, predominantly?, DNS-ignorant, and are easily mislead by, eg, his "glue" BS. I've tried to set him straight, but his reports are still bent.
