Hello All, There's some -really- goofy inconsistancies
related with this host & its naming, routing, ...

1) nslookup egg.microsoft.com Gives 131.107.1.4
2) nslookup 131.107.1.4 Gives 'Non-existant host/domain'
3) traceroute to 131.107.1.4 Does go thru MS Controlled Routers
But there is -NO- Inverse names .
4) rwhois -h whois.arin.net 131.107
Gives 'Microsoft Corporation...'
