I guess this should be the wikivoyage eV servers.

This is probably the legacy configuration from wikivoyage eV servers.

Note PTR isn't involved in the process to redirect web requests from
domain name to the server, only A records (or AAAA in IPv6 world).

So in a nutshell, Wikivoyage were hosted on Wikivoyage eV servers and
it seems they registered wikivoyage.com too.

This domain hasn't been involved in the transfer operation.

You can contact Stefan Fussan at [email protected] (I'm ccing
this mail) to get more information about that.

What would you suggest exactly? Than wikivoyage.com is transfered to
the fundation and redirect to wikivoyage.org, like we do with
wikipedia.com?
