Chris Siebenmann on Nostr: We used to operate one of the university's authoritative secondary DNS servers for ...
We used to operate one of the university's authoritative secondary DNS servers for all of the university's domains. Many years ago, we ceased doing this, reducing the server to just being authoritative for our own domains. Today I learned that there are a lot of people on the Internet still querying us for other people's domains that we haven't been NS records for for years. Where are they picking this up from? It is a mystery.
