Hello,

it seems bluehost.com does some weird things with several TLDs. Their
nameservers return authoritative answer for SOA queries for some TLDs:

$ dig   soa si @ns1.bluehost.com.

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.23.rc1.el6_5.1 <<>> soa si
@ns1.bluehost.com.
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 23273
;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;si.                            IN      SOA

;; ANSWER SECTION:

2014040700 86400 7200
3600000 300

;; Query time: 160 msec

;; WHEN: Fri Jun 20 15:50:56 2014

However soa records they return is faked (origin, rname, serial, timers..)

$ dig  +short soa si @ns1.bluehost.com.
sss.dns.si. abuse.bluehost.com. 2014040700 86400 7200 3600000 300
$ dig  +short soa si
ns1.arnes.si. hostmaster.arnes.si. 1403269236 3600 1800 720000 3600

$ dig  +short soa de @ns1.bluehost.com.
a.nic.de. abuse.bluehost.com. 2014041400 86400 10800 3600000 300

$ dig  +short soa fi @ns1.bluehost.com.
a.fi. abuse.bluehost.com. 2014041400 86400 10800 3600000 300

$ dig  +short soa com. @ns1.bluehost.com.
a.gtld-servers.net. abuse.bluehost.com. 2009091600 28800 7200 3600000 300

Does anyone know what is the purpouse for doing this?

Regards,

Benjamin
