At my previous job there used to be a TXT record at cam.ac.uk saying
"The University of Cambridge", which I replaced with a LOC record to avoid
interference with things like SPF and domain authentication. It's also
used as a test record by the keepalived health check scripts.

Cambridge has a residency rule for students that requires them to live
within 3 miles of the city centre, so the 10km diameter in the LOC record
is in some sense correct and reasonably accurate.

cam.ac.uk  LOC  52 12 19.000 N 0 7 5.000 E 18.00m 10000m 100m 100m
