Mmm, if they do that, that would be remarkably anti-social of them. That 
would mean that you would not be able to resolve www.ihug.co.nz for 
example.

Now this is interesting! alien.xtra.co.nz does not resolve external 
stuff but terminator does! I'm not a customer of Xtra. It looks like 
alien was found but wouldn't do lookups for me.

Cheers,
