primary for aol.com?

went ahead and went authorative for aol for the time being, this
  might not be what aol wants everyone to do, and it might hit
  some MX'es harder than others, but since i can't get anything
  other than a voice jail at their contact number, and nothing has
  been posted on a web page, it seems to be a good way to keep
  from queuing mail and keeping customers happy.

  if anyone from aol would like us to all go authorative for a
  better copy of a zone file than what i threw together from dig,
  just point me to it and i'll drop it in, no problem.

  this should get interesting mediawise

  hang in there ...

Ugly!

Add this to root.cache instead:

aol.com. 3600000 NS dns-02.aol.com.
dns-02.aol.com. 3600000 A 152.163.199.56

You might go through your named cache dump and use a different AOL DNS
server so we're not all pounding the same one.
