COM/NET/EDU nameserver changes

[Duncan Berriman]

Ignore this request.

I found the explanation.

https://www.verisign.com/domain-name-services/domain-information-center/dns-

It matches my customer issue so I'm glad to be able to confirm to him the
problem and why it has suddenly appeared.

Thanks
Duncan
