Re: g.root-servers.net returns NXDOMAIN for com.

      check carefully. most root servers are no longer
      authoritative for gTLDs.  The gTLDS are being moved
      to their own machines.

Yes, I know.  But g was returning *NXDOMAIN*.  It did not refer queries
to gTLD servers; it authoritatively claimed that com did not exist.  This
can and did can queries to fail and mail to bounce.
