I had some fun with NameCheap and the xyz tlds. Turns out, CentralNic (who actually runs the zones) was not doing proper validation on the glue records, and not removing old ones. NameCheap was sending CentralNic cached records, and managed to foobar my domain glues. I bypassed NameCheap, because I knew they weren't the ones actually maintaining the records (registrars are just middle-men.) Using the DNS contact in the SOA, I got a response within 12 hours, and it was fully resolved within 24 hours (minus propagation.) CentralNic contacted NameCheap, as did I, and they got their system fixed within the week. --Edit-- CentralNic, not Nic. The roots were to nic.xyz.
