about ten years ago, apple added a stray record to the apple.com zone

.... a DNAME[1] record

....... that pointed to apple.com

1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNAME_record

this had some pretty disastrous results[2]

bad things happen everywhere



It continually astounds me that DNAME got standardized. Scary stuff.
