Configuration issue with ns-cloud-c1.googledomains.com

[bry...@gmail.com]

ns-cloud-c1.googledomains.com should not respond with 127.0.0.1 to name server queries for itself! It should either respond with the correct public IP (216.239.32.108) or ideally refuse the query.

This is not necessarily an error but rather a less than optimal configuration which can results in mismatch of NS addresses and potential for additional DNS lookups for domains that use "ns-cloud-c1... through c4" as name servers.

$ nslookup ns-cloud-c1.googledomains.com ns-cloud-c1.googledomains.com
Server: ns-cloud-c1.googledomains.com
Address: 216.239.32.108#53
Name: ns-cloud-c1.googledomains.com
Address: 127.0.0.1

This does not happen with other google cloud name servers. Example:

$ nslookup ns-cloud-a1.googledomains.com ns-cloud-a1.googledomains.com
Server: ns-cloud-a1.googledomains.com
Address: 216.239.32.106#53

** server can't find ns-cloud-a1.googledomains.com: REFUSED
