- zymhan 12y agoI do not understand what's happening here. How does it resolve to a 127.0 address?
- colanderman 12y agoDNS A entires can resolve to any address you like; just, a 127.0 address is not very useful. What's strange is that someone would have set google. to point to a 127.0 address, and left that message in the MX record. (Usually TLDs have no records.) Though I think I figured out the puzzle: $ host -t TXT google. 8.8.8.8 google descriptive text "Your DNS configuration needs immediate attention see https://icann.org/namecollision" https://icann.org/namecollision https://icann.org/namecollision gives some interesting information.
