[edit] phx.gbl

Perhaps there should be some explanation about the unofficial domain phx.gbl unilaterally created by Microsoft? – Kaihsu (talk) 21:20, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, inclusion in wikipedia requires a reliable source and I can't even find an unreliable source explaining what the heck phx.gbl is. The best explanation I've found is The Black Hole called Hotmail page and On The Importance of Reverse DNS (most of the discussion is at the bottom), but neither of these pages have any real answers. Right now, the rDNS for 65.55.232.16 is bl1sch2041307.phx.gbl. and, as per the hotmail blackhole page, ns.msft.net is still claiming it has authority over phx.gbl. According to this post on the GNSO ICANN mailing list, microsoft also claims authoritative for the .local TLD. Let me know if you find anything! Wrs1864 (talk) 22:34, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
