Unified Root - Domain Configuration Issue

[Joe Baptista]

Well - like I said below - it is not recommended to simply use http://tld/ -
however there are a few IANA TLDs that in fact are setup with A records
associated with TLDs.  Just did a test out of curiosity and found the
following ccTLDs with A records.

AC.   86400 IN A 193.223.78.210
AF.   86400 IN A 65.219.4.91
AI.   14400 IN A 209.59.119.34
BI.   38400 IN A 196.2.8.205
CM.   3600 IN A 195.24.192.17
DK.   86400 IN A 193.163.102.23
HK.   604800 IN A 203.119.2.28
IO.   604800 IN A 193.223.78.212
PH.   86400 IN A 203.119.4.7
PN.   43200 IN A 80.68.93.100
PW.   600 IN A 203.199.114.33
SH.   86400 IN A 64.251.31.234
TM.   86400 IN A 193.223.78.213
UZ.   14400 IN A 195.158.1.25
WS.   21600 IN A 63.101.245.10
