I run an off-site secondary for another .edu's DNS. I once got
curious, and watched *WAY* too many lookups for (in quick sequence)
www.netscape.com.dept.other.edu
www.netscape.com.other.edu
www.netscape.com.edu
www.netscape.com
No, I don't know why I got the last one, as I'm only answering for
'other.edu'. Perhaps the host doing the queries had a sudden fit
of inspiration, saw my machine as an NS for its domain, and guessed.
Or maybe just some funky info in a DHCP config file someplace...
