Something went wrong with zone file generation and that RRset got corrupted somehow. [When the authoritative NS RRset gets mangled, it doesn't matter if the targets of those NS records are inside or outside the zone.] Things still worked (sort of). The delegation info at the root was unchanged and valid. Resolvers got referrals to the authoritative .se name servers even though those servers might not have had NS records in the .se zone itself. _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list dns-operations@lists.dns-oarc.net https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
