  That isn't outrageous however I totally understand why it rubs you the wrong way. I was also baffled by that aspect of DNS before. During my first internship, my mentor who was impressed with my knowledge in general asked me if I had anything to ask. I told him there is something that doesn't make any sense to me at all about DNS. I asked him exactly that situation, and we talked about glue records and it all clicked. I think you could also bootstrap with things in the cache if you're careful since it is a distributed system. https://www.ibm.com/blog/understanding-glue-records-and-dedicated-dns/ https://www.ibm.com/blog/understanding-glue-records-and-dedi...

    I think they were talking about the “Status: Suspended” part more than the NS records.

      Check the last line with "hmmm".

        I swear that wasn’t there when I replied! (I’m sure it actually was and I just missed it.)

      I was also wondering about the NS records. Lots of other domains generally have nameservers that are outside the domain, or at least a mix of in/outside the domain. In this case it looks like it could be a best practice to do this.

        While having nameservers in multiple TLD:s is a good idea, it does not help against a domain being suspended outright.

  What was the tool used to generate this output?

    That looks like whois, available on most Unix versions.
