: I know that, I was pointing out that you can resolve starwolf.com
:domain, just not an A record for it, should've been more clear.
Why would you need to resolve an A record for `starwolf.com'? That's
entirely irrelevant to being able to resolve records for and under
`starwolf.com'. You need to be able to resolve NS records for `starwolf.com'
via the glue in the `com' root servers and they are doing that fine. Anyway,
this is running far away from current-users subjects (not that it started out
as one).
