This is a list of IP no.s given back by the root
nameservers of various gTLD and ccTLD registries
in case of a non-existent domain instead of
issueing the correct NXDOMAIN response, also
known as the "wildcard issue".

It was posted originally to the SPAM-L mailing list
and forwarded to spamasassin-talk where I picked
it up, validated it and corrected a typo in one IP no.
Since I don't know if the original authors want
their names associated with this I leave them out.

The validity has been tested as of 20. Sept. 2003
by looking up two supposedly bogus domains for any
of the following TLDs and comparing the results.
I will add additional domains or changed IPs as
soon as I take notice.

Good news: I retested on 11. Oct. 2010 and found only
one of the registries still doing this business: ws.
Old IP numbers have been invalidated with #.
It's possible that other registries have started
doing it, but I haven't tested it. I guess I should
write a small test program :-)
