Lots of .COM domains seem to have disappeared. Is this a result
of the AlterNIC spoofing attack?

When I query the COM authoritative nameservers with some sample
domains I get different answers depending on who I ask.
Sometimes a proper answer, somtimes NOERROR with an empty answer,
sometimes NXDOMAIN.

E.g. "dig @A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET digital.com. ns" gives a proper
answer, but B thru G return NXDOMAIN.
H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET returns a proper answer.

Similarly with vix.com I get a proper answer from A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
and H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET, but B thru G return NOERROR with an empty
answer.

I think I'm using the correct addresses for A-H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET,
but I'm beginning to wonder how much I can trust anything in .NET ...

No.  It's the result of the InterNIC releasing zone files with errors and
time delays in propagating corrected zone files to the root servers.

There was an article about it in Computer Risks Digest; the archive of that
issue is at http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/19.25.html , or FTP at
ftp://ftp.sri.com/risks (vol. 19.25).
