This is a weird case. The .edu registry is semi-linked to the the .com/.net registry in some way - I am vague about the details. We're also dealing with a registry model that has separate host and domain objects, which makes everything more confusing and full of awkward edge cases. We can use `whois` to find out something about these unwanted host objects. The output below tells us that the .com/.net registry got the host object from Educause, and that in the .edu registry the host isn't linked to any domains. $ whois -h whois.verisign-grs.net 'nameserver dns.scout.wisc.edu' Server Name: DNS.SCOUT.WISC.EDU IP Address: 144.92.170.199 Registrar: Educause Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.educause.net Registrar URL: http://www.educause.edu/edudomain $ whois -h whois.educause.edu 'host dns.scout.wisc.edu' Hostname: DNS.SCOUT.WISC.EDU IP Address: 144.92.170.199 Added: 8/19/2003 1:47:29 PM Last Updated: 8/19/2003 1:47:29 PM Domains in the .EDU namespace associated with this host: None > My suspicious is that the glue stuck in gtld is supplied by educause > however educause (who recently went through a major facelift of their > portal, net.educause.edu) is claiming no such thing has ever existed. Well, it doesn't look like that to me! The difficulty might be due to the fact that these host objects don't have any associated domain objects in the .edu registry. Maybe (guessing wildly) if you have a sacrificial .edu domain you could add these troublesome hosts as nameservers, which might give you control over their glue addresses...
