This wouldn't be webteam.net, would it? =)
This morning, Chris Yarnell from NASA pointed out the response
to "dig @a.root-servers.net . soa":
. 2D IN NS PANIC.WEBTEAM.NET.
. 2D IN NS TORGO.WEBTEAM.NET.
PANIC.WEBTEAM.NET. 2D IN A 207.67.50.8
TORGO.WEBTEAM.NET. 2D IN A 207.67.50.7
I don't know how this happened, but it doesn't look pretty. =)
(The "standard" zone files were okay -- .COM, .NET, etc...)
