I'm a youngin by the standard of some around here....

Sometime around 1995 I noticed what appeared to be a problem with the au. 
domain on munnari.  Quite concerned I emailed KRE.  Within 10 minutes I 
got an email back and KRE set me straight... The copy of nslookup I was 
using was at fault, munnari was in the right :)

A host known as munnari was still appearing as an NS record for au. until 
quite recently of course.  I wonder how many boxes bore that name :)

Cheers,

Rob
