And, Bill, what do they return?
There is AUTHORITATIVE service for all of the private internet
addresses on blackhole.isi.edu, and we have Bill Manning to thank for
that. Let's hear a round of applause for Bill, ladies and gents and
other creatures of God!
The only name server that would be actually looking for a real, live,
operational name from a 10.*.*.* address or any other private internet
address would be one that's actually on one of them pesky private
internets.
Is that a fair statement? ;-)
