My personal favorite broken domain is New York State Thruway folks.

https://ednscomp.isc.org/ednscomp/cb652bc112

If you ask for AAAA of www.thruway.ny.gov it is a CNAME to www.wip.thruway.ny.gov and that
breaks a number of DNS servers and load balancers, eg:

$ host -t aaaa www.wip.thruway.ny.gov
;; reply from unexpected source: 2001:558:100e:4:69:252:66:215#53, expected 2001:558:feed::1#53
;; reply from unexpected source: 2001:558:100e:4:69:252:66:215#53, expected 2001:558:feed::1#53

Waiting for the timeouts to occur or trying to get a robust response via TCP is problematic at best.

DNS works really well despite much of the damage from firewall vendors and ill informed consultants.
