Perhaps someone at internic.net could explain why the file in the first directory is WRONG but that in the second includes the correct info?
[legacy cron jobs pointing at FTP. will obviously not succeed]

;       This file is made available by InterNIC 
;       under anonymous FTP as
;           file                /domain/named.cache
;           on server           FTP.INTERNIC.NET
