How not to set up your DNS (part 13)

In the traditional illustrated format:

; sdig ns aescorts.net.
ns1.bnmq.com.
ns2.bnmq.com.
; dig mx aescorts.net. @ns1.bnmq.com.
[...]
;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
[...]
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
. 1 IN SOA . abuse.opticaljungle.com. ...

That's an interestingly grandiose claim of authority bnmq.com is making there. (And also an interesting primary nameserver they claim the DNS root has.)

For bonus points, they actually return an A record for aescorts.net, although without the usual authority records that you'd expect. It's just queries for other records that they fail. I'm left wondering if the bnmq.com nameservers are actually some species of caching nameservers, and bits have fallen out of their caches and haven't been refreshed.

(Given everything else, we probably didn't want to get email from a domain called 'aescorts.net' anyways.)
