ns2.domainservice.com 1 A 208.73.211.42
ns3.domainservice.com 1 A 208.73.210.43
ns4.domainservice.com 1 A 208.73.211.44
I just did a trace to all 4 of those IPs and they all share the same second last hop. Ouch, that's like breaking the #1 rule of DNS. It seems unfathomable that they would sit their DNS servers on a single network when they have thousands of customers relying on those servers being reachable 24/7/365...
