Whilst checking the DNS configuration of various domains authoritative servers to see if they could be persuaded to amplify DNS based DDoS attacks I noticed something odd....dig +norec @ns2.msft.net. . ns

...snip...

;; ANSWER SECTION:
.			3600	IN	NS	ns4.msft.net.
.			3600	IN	NS	ns1.msft.net.
.			3600	IN	NS	ns5.msft.net.
.			3600	IN	NS	ns2.msft.net.
.			3600	IN	NS	ns3.msft.net.
