For those of you who add the ORSC style TLDTAGS to your root zone,
add these for EACH of the TLDs listed above

IN TXT "<tldtag field='tel' value='+1 (312) 560-3934'>"
IN TXT "<tldtag field='url' value='http://www.biztld.net'>"
IN TXT "<tldtag field='whois' value='inrs.adns.net/whois.php'>"
IN TXT "<tldtag field='org' value='AtlanticRoot Network Inc.'>"
IN TXT "<tldtag field='poc' value='Leah Gallegos'>"
IN TXT "<tldtag field='email' value='info@adns.net>"

in this case, the suggesion that TXT RR's be put alongside NS RR's *above*
the zone cut is your clue that the whole thing is a put-on. i guess this
