gtld-servers returning multiple A records for a NS?

Thu Apr 4 08:26:18 UTC 2002

Its been like that for years, just very rare cases.

Worth is that about 4-6 months ago I started seeing multiple dns servers 
registered for the same ip address. Plus to that neither .biz nor .info
dns servers are even showing on the internic root.

System is totally broken, I'll try to raise this issue on the upcoming
ARIN conference, although its not exactly correct place for it.
