This is ... rather normal. .org is served by *.NSTLD.COM now. .net and .com
are still served by *.gtld-servers.net.

It looks like register.com either hosed their database, or hosed records
while trying to update various records (at the request of the owners or
someone else, who knows).

A variety of domains appear affected, sans.org, dhsield.org, incidents.org,
homepc.org, etc. All .org, all related and sharing infrastructure
aooerently.

Right now I'm inclined towards Occam's razor, this is a technical screw
up/"normal" DNS modification and not something "evil".
