After looking at the DIG output posted I would have to agree with how this _should_ have manifested itself (mispelled TLDs only, because of the SOA) - But packet dumps showed the lookups contained lots of valid domains, tons of stuff in .mg, .il, .uk, .gov and to a latter extent .com and .net (but only largish sites like excite, yahoo, etc).

Doesn't this error imply that ==>a percentage of the Internet was unresolvable by the entire planet? No. It means that any mis-spelled top-level domain went to you. So you got all the traffic for .ent, .ocm, .cmo, .nte, etc domains =) (.net and .com permutations for those of you who didn't see it) /cah
