myserver.com is a real domain name. Is it YOUR domain name? Somehow I doubt it.

Thank you for pointing this out. I feel bad for anyone at domain, company, foo, bar, foobar .com etc at least once day.

Use example.com, example.net, example.org, etc. Or use an impossible name like mydomain.tld, foobar.tld, &c. when obfuscating. Oh, and obfuscating on this list is generally a waste of time and makes it harder for people to help you.

Glad you brought this up, often times I am using example.com and then ns.example.com and imap.example.com and want to refer to something else outside of example.com. I am pretty sure there is even an RFC that states to use example.com. However, when you want to show a two sided problem, you need another, using second.tld is a nice way to do that, so thanks.

It would be interesting to see some data on 208.77.188.166 (example.com A record) to see just what type of traffic they do get.
