The gtld nameservers are being upgraded this week. They will no longer return glue as a answer. This will mean that some broken delegations that "worked" last week will no longer work by the end of this week. In particular "glue only" delegations will be much more visible.
Below is what the new referrals look like. Note the answer section is empty. ; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1 <<>> ns1.google.com @l.gtld-servers.net +norec ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 57145 ;; flags: qr; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 4 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;ns1.google.com.
